PREFACE. 



A third time I have the pleasure of thanking my 
numerous patrons for their extremely liberal favors ; 
but in doing so, must apologize to them for the late 
appearance of the present volume, which delay has 
been caused by the great anxiety I have, to render 
this work as perfect as possible. 

It was my original intention to publish the third 
volume of this work, next after the one for Worcester, 
the district contained in it being so intimately con- 
nected with that city; but when the information was 
all collected, and nearly ready for the press, a survey 
for an important line of Railway, between London and 
Portdynllaen, on the coast of North Wales, to form 
an imperial line of communication between the English 
and Irish metropolis, was commenced ; and a vigorous 
agitation was carried on, to bring before the public the 
strong, and peculiar claims, this line of communication 
has over any other. 

Seeing the vast importance of any Railway to the 
district through which it passes, I immediately deferred 
the printing of this volume, till the report of the Gov- 



IV PREFACE. 

eminent Commissioners was published ; and their deci- 
sion and reason for preferring another line to this, will 
be found at page 22. This vast design is, consequently, 
for the present abandoned, but will probably be again 
attempted; in the description of the various parishes 
through which the Railway would have passed, the 
line is alluded to, and its general features are sketched 
out in the twenty second page. 

From this cause the volume for Dudley has been 
printed and published before this, and will be bound 
up with it, for those subscribers who wish them to- 
gether ; or the three volumes now published may be 
had, bound in one strong calf binding, and the re- 
maining four in another, so as to include the whole 
work in two thick calf bound volumes. 

I cannot place this peculiarly interesting book in 
the hands of those Ladies and Gentlemen who have 
so kindly added their names to the now unprecedently 
large list of subscribers, without remarking, that diffi- 
culties of great magnitude have required subduing, and 
labor of no common kind performing, to collect the 
information it contains ; the mere fact of above 5,000 
houses, scattered over 78 large parishes, having been 
visited (some of them 5 or 6 times before the infor- 
mation could be obtained in a satisfactory manner) is 
sufficient evidence of itself, to show this ; but the dis- 
appointments in meeting with those Gentlemen who 
alone could furnish the facts, introduced in the graphic 
sketches of each place, have very seriously increased 
the time and labor necessary in their collection ; and 



PREFACE. V 

to add to this, the country required to be again gone 
over before going to press, because of the changes 
which took place while the volume was delayed, from 
the railway agitation above noticed. 

But all these difficulties have been cheerfully sur- 
mounted, the volume is now complete, and the re- 
maining four of the series will be issued with much 
more rapidity than the three now published, as the 
most serious and difficult part of the labor is now 
finished. Should any inaccuracies, either in the His- 
tories, or Directories, be discovered, they will all be 
corrected in an appendix to the general History of 
the county, and given in the second of the two thick 
calf bound volumes, if communicated to my printers 
by post. 

The limits of a preface would not allow of an in- 
dividual acknowledgment to a tithe of those to whose 
kindness I am indebted for the facts included in this 
volume ; I must, therefore, content myself with saying, 
that to all, and each, I feel extremely grateful for their 
attention to my agents, who called upon them ; and 
hoping such use has been made of the information 
received, as will tend to increase, very much, the use- 
fulness of this valuable memorial of men and things, 
and at th,e same time place on record events and facts 
desirable to be remembered, and made matter of history. 

I remain, 

The Public's humble but devoted Servant, 

JOSEPH BENTLEY.

HISTORY 

AND 

DIRECTORY OF EVESHAM, 

AND OF SHVENTY-EIGHT PARISHES, IN THE SOUTH FART OF 
WORCESTERSHIRE. 



Evesham, or as it is generally pronounced Easham, 
is an ancient, respectable, and delightfully situated 
parliamentary borough and market town, on the S.E. 
side of an elevated promontory formed by the Avon; 
and is 56 miles N.E, of Bristol, 69 nearly S of Derby, 
112 S. of Manchester, and 40 S.W. of Warwick; for 
the distance of every town in the county, see the accom- 
panying Distance Table, and for other distances see 
Coach List. 

This town, situated in one of the most fertile vales in 
our "sea-girt isle," is of considerable antiquity, several 
historians appearing strongly of opinion, that the Romans 
had a station here, called Ad Antonam, though that sta- 
tion was more probably on Bredon Hill ; but its authen- 
tic history commences in 701, when a monastery was 
founded here by Egwin the Third bishop of Worcester, 
as its charter of foundation states, because of a visit by the 
Virgin to Eoves, one of the bishop's swine herds in this 
part of his domains ; on its completion in 714, it was 
dedicated to the Virgin Mary, and the bishop resigned 
his mitre at Rome, and became the first Abbot. Eighteen 
Abbots succeeded the founder, and faithfully retained 
all the possessions acquired by the blessed Egwin, du- 
ring a period of 200 years, when it suffered most severely 
at the hands of the ruthless Danes. From 941 to 960, 



12 bentley's history of 

it was possessed by secular canons, and from the latter 
period till 1014, it suffered several vicissitudes ; but, 
then became possessed by the Benedictine order, who 
appear peacefully to have retained it till Doomsday 
Survey, about 1080, when the possessions of this monas- 
tery in land, were 21,862 acres, 8,850 of which were in 
this county ; and it had been dispossessed of abovel 1,000 
acres by different spoilators. 

Towards the end of the eleventh, or early in the twelfth 
century, Abbot Walter erected a considerable part of a new 
Church, which was completed by subsequent abbots, and 
considerably surpassed the original monastery in extent 
and architectural ornament ; being about 300 feet from &. 
to W., and containing a choir, chapel of the Virgin, 
transept or great cross aisle, lateral aisles, chapter-house, 
cloisters, and bell tower ; the last with the door-way of the 
chapter house and a part of the grand gateway, being all 
that remain of this once magnificent structure. The 
monastery occupied the whole of this beautiful fer- 
tile peninsula ; being bounded on the E , S., and W., 
by the river, and on the N. by a strong lofty wall, which 
completely protected the brethren from intrusion, extend- 
ing to the river on both sides. Fifty -five abbots pre- 
sided over this sacred edifice, Egwin being the first, and 
Clement Lichfield, who died October 1546, was the last ; 
he voluntarily resigned his abbacy in 1539, and this 
magnificent establishment was suppressed the same year, 
by Henry VIII. It was valued at £2,076. lis. 4d. per 
annum, but undoubtedly far exceeded that sum, beingone of 
the richest, and last dissolved religious houses in England, 
and included 89 men in orders, and 65 servants. The 
sacred edifice, and the greater part of its possessions 
were granted for service and value received, to Sir Philip 
Hobby, in 1540, and 1544. The vast pile was let on 
lease as a stone quarry; which thus accounts for the 
principal part of the noble structure being removed, the 
materials being sold to erect other buildings. 

Whatever dwellings the ancient Britons or the Romans 
might have here, the actual origin of Evesham must date 
from the foundation of its monastery, and seems bug to 
have been confined to the necessities of the religious 
brethren, for in Doomsday-book, the whole population, 



EVESHAM. WORCESTERSHIRE. 13 

including Bengeworth, does not appear to have amounted 
to above 100, and in 1096, the inhabitants of the abbey 
being 143, we may assume those of the town at an equal 
number. In 1636, Evesham ranked among the nine 
highest rated corporate boroughs in the kingdom, and 
paid £74. as " ship money ;" so that the destruction of 
the monasteiy does not seem to have diminished, but 
rather to have allowed of a considerable extension of the 
town ; and during the last two centuries it has continued 
to increase in extent, external appearance and internal 
arrangement and comfort, and in wealth and respecta- 
bility ; and is now second to none of its size in these 
respects, and excels most places in its beautiful site, fine 
prospects, fertile soil, and salubrious air. 

Evesham has fully borne its share of the horrors of 
war, a castle existed for some time in Bengeworth, but 
was destroyed by abbot De Anville, about 1150 ; one of 
the most memorable military slaughters in the annals of 
our country, throws into the shade all other matters of this 
kind connected with the town. " The Battle of Evesham" 
took place to the N. of the town, the conflict being most 
deadly in the low ground, called the Battle-well, near 
the Abbey Manor House; and the slain are by some 
writers, stated to be as high as 10,000. This ever me- 
morable carnage, took place on the afternoon of Wednes- 
day, August 4th, 1265, between Edward, afterwards 
Edward I. and the Earl of Leicester; who held 
Edward's father, Henry III., in bondage ; and who was 
completely routed, and with most of his noble followers 
slain, and King Henry released ; and the ambitious 
nobles under Leicester completely overthrown. 

Nothing remarkable of a war-like nature, occurred here 
till the conduct of Charles I. rendered the monarchy 
insupportable in England, and caused a civil war, end- 
ing in the establishment of a republic, which existed 9 
years. During these changes effected by violence, Eves- 
ham, from its insular position, its rich soil furnishing 
plenty of supplies, and from its being on the road from 
Oxford to Worcester, the then two strong holds of 
royalty, was garrisoned by the King in 1642 ; deserted 
by him for a time in 1644, but re-garrisoned ; and was af- 
terwards taken by the parliamentary forces under Massey,

HISTORY OF 



from Gloucester, in June 1645, after a most determined 
resistance, and retained by them to the end of the war ; 
since which time the history of Evesham is written, in 
the peaceful establishment of Institutions for subduing 
ignorance, ministering to the spiritual and temporal wants 
of its inhabitants, and in increasing their comfort, and 
the respectability of the Borough. 

Though not considered a manufacturing town, Evesham 
fabricates several articles both for its own use, and for 
exchange with neighbouring towns; particularly parch- 
ment, ribbons, and oil cake ; all which will be noticed 
under the proper heads subsequently ; but the town and 
district are, and long have been, most famed for the ex- 
cellency and profusion of their vegetable productions, 
both roots, fruit, and com ; most places within 30 or 40 
miles, receiving their supply of vegetables and fruit 
either wholly or in part, from this town and neighbour- 
hood. See also Gardening, &c. 

The situation of the town is peculiarly eligible and 
pleasant, seated on a gentle eminence, nearly encircled 
by the winding Avon, amid shady orchards, fertile mea- 
dows, and highly cultivated gardens ; and is uninjured 
by the smoke incident to a large manufacturing town. 
From whatever point Evesham is entered, neatness, and 
order present to the eye an example of cleanliness sel- 
dom met with; and the solidity of the mansions, houses, 
and shops, the peaceful order, and genteel appearance of 
the inhabitants passing to and fro, are strong evidences 
of the respectability of the place. 

The town consists of four principal streets, with several 
smaller ones branching in different directions. High-el 
is by far the widest, and extends a considerable length 
from N. to S. ; nearly in a line with its southern extrem- 
ity is Vine-street, also spacious, and equally respectable; 
from the junction of these two streets, Bridge-street 
branches nearly E., and contains many respectable shops 
and mansions, but is narrower than the two streets before 
named ; it extends to the bridge, whence its name ; and 
on the other side of the bridge, is Port-street form- 
ing the main street of Bengeworth. and enlivened by a pur- 
ling stream running down each side of the road. The Mar- 
ie it-place, in the S.W. angle, formed by the junction of 



EVESHAM WORCESTERSHIRE. 15 

Bridge and Vine-streets, is very spacious, well paved, and 
surrounded by substantial erections ; among which, the 
Guildhall stands conspicuous. The streets are kept 
very clean, and in good repair, and are well lighted with 
gas ; and the shops are furnished with every necessary 
and luxury, so that Evesham is equal to most places in 
these constituents of comfort and civilization; while its 
surpassing beauty, and healthful atmosphere, present 
strong attractions to visitants, who will find excellent 
society here, as the town and neighbourhood abound 
with respectable families, whose mansions are seen 
in various directions enlivening and adorning the land- 
scape. 

PLACES OF WORSHIP. 

All Saints Parish Church is a good stone edificej 
near the abbey tower, erected in the 13th century; 
and is noted as being the burial place of Abbot Lichfield, 
who enlarged this church and that of St. Lawrence, and 
erected the abbey tower ; the interior is spacious, and 
contains two aisles and a singing gallery, in which is a 
fine toned organ : the church contains 744 seats : the 
living is a discharged vicarage, in the gift of the Crown, 
and the Rev. John Marshall, M. A., is the present 
vicar. Service every Sunday morning at 11, and in the 
afternoon at 3 ; William Robins is clerk, and the Sun- 
day school is on Merstowe Green. 

St. Lawrence Parish Church is a stone edifice, 
erected also in the 13th century, on the S. side of Vine 
Street, in the same yard and standing near to All Saints 
and the abbey tower. This church till lately was in 
ruins, but in 1837 it was in some measure restored to 
its ancient magnificence, at an expense of upwards of 
£2,600, raised by subscription, and in April, 1840, a 
fine new organ was opened here. The living is a 
perpetual curacy, generally held with All Saints ; the 
Rev. John Marshall, M. A. is incumbent ; the Rev. 
Joseph Harling, M. A. curate, and Henry White is clerk ; 
there are 787 seats, of which 682 are free. Service com-" 
mences at 11 every Sunday morning, and half-past 6 
in the evening ; and the Sunday school is taught in the 
church. 



16 



BENTLEY S HISTORY OF 



St. Peter's, or Bengeworth Parish Church 
is situated in Church Street, adjoining the upper part of 
Port Street, and is supposed to have been erected in the 
thirteenth century by the abbey of Evesham ; much of 
the materials employed in its erection were obtained from 
the demolished castle. The church is of rather irregular 
form, ornamented by a tower and spire ; in 1832 the 
church yard was enclosed with a substantial brick wall, 
at the expense of the parishioners ; and an organ and 
gallery were added at the W. end by subscription, at 
an expense of £202. In the southern aisle stands a 
splendid monument, to the memory of John Deacle, 
Esq., founder of the charity school, at Bengeworth. 
The living is a perpetual curacy; the patron is the Rev. 
Thomas Marsden, and the incumbent the Rev. John 
Shaw. The number of sittings is 451. The service 
commences at half-past 10 in the morning, and at 6 in 
the evening ; Charles Baylis is clerk ; and a Sunday 
school is taught in the church. 

Baptist Chapel, in Cowl Street, was erected in 
1 788, at an expense of £540, and two lateral galleries 
were added, and a new vestry built, at an expense of 
£300, in 1832 ; it now contains seats for 450 people, 
118 being free ; and there is a small organ ; the congre- 
gation elect their pastor ; the Rev. John Hockin is the 
present minister. Service every Sunday morning at 
half-past 10, a quarter before 3 in the afternoon, and 6 
in the evening, and on Thursday evening at 7. A Sun- 
day school is taught in the vestry, and the chapel is 
licensed for the solemnization of marriages. A congre- 
gation existed here in 1704, and worshipped in a barn, at 
the top of Port Street; they erected a small chapel 
there in 1722, which was burnt down in 1753, and rebuilt 
in 1754, but has been taken down since Oat-street 
chapel was erected, though the burial ground is still used. 
A Baptist Chapel was also built in Mill-st., in 1789 
and is a neat edifice, containing 320 sittings, the congre- 
gation elect their pastor, and the Rev. George Cole is 
the present minister ; service every Sunday morning at 
i past 10, afternoon at i past 2, and evening at 6, and 
a Sunday school is taught in the vestry. 

Friends Meeting House in Cowl-st., is the oldest

was formed here by George Fox, in 1655, and, as in 
most other towns at that period, they suffered violent 
persecution from the " powers that be". The chapel is a 
very plain edifice, in a retired situation, approached by a 
court yard, and contains sittings for 140, service Sunday 
forenoon at 11, afternoon at 3, and on Thursdav forenoon 
at 10. 

Unitarian Chapel, sometimes called Presbyte- 
rian, situated in Cowl-st., is a stone edifice having a 
neat interior, containing 200 sittings ; a gallery was 
added in 1820, and other Improvements made amoun- 
ting to full £200, defrayed by the late Mr. Anthony New, 
and in 1829 the same gentleman presented an organ. 
The congregation elect their own pastor, their present 
minister is the Rev. Timothy Davis, service Sunday 
morning at \ past 10, and afternoon at \ past 2, and the 
Sunday school is near the chapel. 

Wesleyan Methodist Chapel in Chapel-st., is 
an appropriate brick structure, together with a dwelling 
house and garden for the minister, and a burial ground, 
it was erected in 1808, by a legacy of £400. bequeathed 
by Mrs. Guy, of Great Hampton, together with public 
subscriptions ; the present ministers are the Rev. Thomas 
Fletcher, and the Rev. George Hobill, appointed by the 
Wesleyan Conference. The number of seats are 250, 
120 of which are free; service every Sunday morning at 
\ past 10, and at 6 in the evening, and there is a Sunday 
school in connection with the chapel. 

Abbey Tower, or Bell, begun by abbot Lich- 
field in 1533, remains a noble specimen of the 
architecture of that period, being in excellent preserva- 
tion. Various reasons are assigned, but no historical 
fact given, why, amid the general wreck of the abbey, 
the stones of this tower were not sold as well as the 
rest ; but so it is, and it remains in its prestine massive- 
ness, and just proportions, the admiration of all visitors. 
It is a square highly ornamented tower, 110 feet high ; 
consisting of three stories, surmounted with an embattled 
parapet, and carved pinnacles, and contains a musical set 
of bells and very pleasant chimes. 



18 bentley's history of 

Agricultural Implements are made to great per- 
fection in Evesham, and form an important branch of 
business, as the husbandman can never perform his 
task well, unless aided by good instruments ; the manu- 
facturers here have been long noted for the excellency of 
their drills, ploughs, &c. 

Avon River is now of considerable advantage, being 
navigable from Stratford 18 or 1 9 miles higher on the 
river than Evesham ; and by this means, coal, and other 
heavy materials are obtained in the vale of Evesham, at 
a comparatively cheap rate, and agricultual produce sent 
in return. This, at that time important work, was com- 
menced in 1635, by W. Sandys, Esq., of Fladbury, 
who spent £20,000. in this laudable manner ; but being 
unable to complete it, he resigned the work to parlia- 
ment, and it was completed by W. Say, Esq., during 
the Commonwealth. The river was made navigable to 
Stratford about 1670, and from that town to the Severn, 
there are 14 locks ; 6 above, and 8 below Evesham. 

Banks. There are two of these highly valuable insti- 
tutions for commercial purposes, and one for the savings 
of the provident labourer, and small tradesman. The 
Savingshaiik was established so recently as May 27, 1839; 
on the 20th November, there were 90 depositors, who had 
invested £1,410, 14s. 2d.; in January of the present 
year, the number of depositors had increased to 1 23, and 
are now still rapidly increasing. The banks are open 
from 9 to 3 ; on market days till six. 

Bible Society; a branch was established in 1811, 
and has been very effectively conducted, having contri- 
buted above £5,000. to the parent society, and distribu- 
ted between 9 and 10,000 copies of the scriptures, in the 
town and neighbourhood. 

Bone Manure is manufactured here to a great ex- 
tent, having been commenced in 1831 ; it adds much 
to the fertility of the land when judiciously applied. 

Bridge. The bridge by which the town is entered 
from Bengeworth, on the S.E., is a very ancient struc- 
ture, and was known to exist here in the 12th century, 
it was broke down in 1644, and not restored till 1662. 
It consists of 8 irregular, very ancient looking arches, 
and the thoroughfare is scarcely wide enough for two car-

riages. There was anciently another bridge, near two 
miles higher on the Avon, at the foot of Twyford-lane, 
but it is now entirely demolished. 

Charities for the relief of the poor in bread, clothing, 
&c, and for other benevolent purposes, are numerous in 
Evesham; and evince the generous disposition of its 
present and past inhabitants. 

Christian Knowledge Society. A district asso- 
ciation was established here in 1817, and has been the 
means of doing a considerable amount of good within 
the district, by distributing the society's tracts, &c. 

Corporation, established by charter, from James I., 
in 1603, to consist of 2 bailiffs, 12 aldermen, and 12 
capital burgesses ; and by a second charter in 1605, of 
a mayor, 7 aldermen, 12 common councilmen, and 24 
assistants ; but the town is now governed by a mayor, 4 
aldermen, and 12 councillors, constituted a corporation 
by the general act for reforming all corporations in Eng- 
land and Wales, passed in 1835. 

Courts. The magistrates hold a petty sessions for 
the county, at the Police Office, High-street, on Monday, 
and at the Town-hall on Thursday, for the borough. The 
present Magistrates are the Mayor, J. New, Esq., and 
B. Workman, E. Rudge, J. M. G. Cheek, H. E. Strick- 
land, and W. Soley, Esqrs. 

Deacle's Free School Port-street, Bengeworth, 
was founded by John Deacle, Esq., in 1709, with 
£2,000. ; the school was not erected till 1736, when it 
cost £335. 9s.; and the original sum, with compound 
interest, in 1743, was £3,341. 15s. Id. The property 
now produces about £250. per annum. The number of 
scholars are 30, who are educated and clothed, and a 
certain proportion of them apprenticed. 

Fairs are held here for cattle, horses, &c. ; Feb. 2nd, 
the second Monday after Easter-day, Whit-Monday, 
the second Monday in August, Sep. 21st, and the 2nd, 
Monday in December ; and Statutes, or as they are 
here termed "Mops," for hiring servants, are held the 
Fri. before, and the Fri. after Old St. Michaelmas-day. 

Gardening is, and long has been the principal source 
of employment for labour and capital here ; having been 
first most likely introduced by the monastic brethren. 



20 kkntlky's history of 

The soil is remarkably fertile, vegetables, roots, and fruit, 
are produced in great abundance ; even London, Bath, 
and other distant markets, being supplied with some of 
the choice articles ; and Birmingham, Cheltenham, Cov- 
entry, Dudley, Warwick, Worcester, &c, receive much 
of their supply from this neighbourhood. Nearly 500 
acres are under garden culture, in All Saint's, St. Law- 
rence, and Bengeworth parishes, at rents in some instan- 
ces, df £10. per acre. 

Gas Works were erected here in 1836, at consider- 
able expense, by the proprietor, Mr. J. Gibbs ; on the 
right bank of the river, in a beautiful situation above the 
bridge, according to plans, and under the superintendence 
of Mr. Richardson of Dudley, and are on the most ap- 
proved principle ; adding much to the comfort and con- 
venience of the Inhabitants, the streets, many of the places 
of worship, and shops are now lighted by this useful vapour. 

Gloving or the sewing of kid gloves, is a mode of 
employment followed by many females here, the Wor- 
cester manufacturers attending once a week, or fortnight,

'RTicuLTURAL Society, established in 1827, and 
called the "Vale of Evesham Horticultural Society, to 
encourage the cultivation of choice flowers, fruits and 
culinary vegetables." The exhibitions are six annually, 
held in the Town-hall between April and September, 
and the society is one of the most respectable and useful 
provincial Institutions of the kind, giving a great stim- 
ulus to excel in this useful art, both by the example of 
its members, and the valuable rewards given. 

Grammar School see Prince Henry's, ditto ditto. 

Infant School, erected by subscription, in 1831, 
at an expense of £680., forms a pleasing termination to 
Chapel-st., being in the pointed order of architecture, 
and having a play ground, and house for the mistress. 

[nns in Evesham, are extensive and respectable, 
affording ample and agreeable accommodation for either 
commercial men, or for occasional sojourners in this in- 
teresting and delightful locality. The Crown, and the 
White Heart, are on the S. W. side of Bridge-st., in the 
town, and the Northwick Anns is pleasantly situated, 
fronting the river on the London road from Worcester, 



EVESHAM. WORCESTERSHIRE. 2J 

several of the Taverns are of a respectable order, and 
the Farrier's Arms and King's Head, have many earners. 

Library and News-room founded in 1819, and now 
held in the Market place, in an appropriate edifice, erected 
by shareholders in 1824, at an expense of £480. The 
number of volumes in the library is above 2,000, and the 
rooms are open from 10 to 1, and from 3 to 6 o'clock. 

Lying-in Charity established here in 1807, is of 
great service in mitigating sufferings among mothers of 
necessitous families, at times when help is really needed. 

Markets have been held here time immemorial, 
Monday and Friday are the days appointed for holding 
the market under the charter, but the latter day is almost 
unobserved at present ; the market is held in the spacious 
area under the Town Hall, and the open Market-place. 

Mechanic's or Literary and Scientific Institu- 
tion, on the N. side of Vine-st., was foimded in 1837, 
has an excellent apparatus, and a well selected library. 
The receipts of the Institution for the year ending May, 
1840, were £104. 3s. 2d., and during the year a great 
variety of important subjects had been illustrated to the 
members and friends of the Institution, by numerous 
talented Lecturers ; and this Institution does much good 
in affording cheap practical knowledge, to the inhabitants 
of the Town and Neighbourhood, in a popular manner. 
The library and reading room are open in the evenings, 
from 7 to 10 in summer, and 6 to 9 in winter. 

Members of Parliament were returned by Evesham 
to the first Parliament convoked, which included members 
from cities and towns, held in 1295 ; after which thne 
there is no evidence of any return being made from this 
borough, till the first charter of incorporation was granted, 
when two members were elected in 1604, and two 
representatives have been sent to the imperial legislature 
since that period. The number of electors is about 320 
and in our alphabetical Directory of the borough, each 
elector's Name begins with an italic letter. The present 
Hon. Members are Lord Marcus Hill, and Mr. Rushout. 

Missionary Societies are established in connection 
with most of the places of worship in the borough. 

Nails are made in considerable quantities, and the 
horse-nails made here have lon^ been much esteemed 



22 bentley's history of 

National School, Merstowe-green, erected in 1831 
by subscription, and a gTant from the National school 
society. This school originated in a Sunday school, es- 
tablished in the Town-hall, in 1805, to which a day 
school was added in 1812, on Dr. Bell's system, some- 
time taught in the grammar school, it was united to the 
National Society in 1828. 

Oil Cake for fattening cattle, and Linseed Oil, 
are extensively produced here, the business having been 
commenced about 1704, the present mill was erected on 
an entire new principle in 1806. 

Parchment is made to great perfection in Evesham, 
and has long formed a peculiar and very useful branch 
of its manufactures. 

Police Office, High-st., and Police Station, 
Town-hall, the latter contains 3 secure cells for the tem- 
porary confinement of delinquents ; the police force for 
the borough consists of two officers and an inspector, it 
was established in 1836, and has been very effective, 
both in preventing crime, and detecting offenders. The 
Inspector's house is at the Town-hall. 

Prince Henry's Free Grammar School, founded 
by Abbot Lichfield, was discontinued at the dissolution 
of the Abbey, but re-endowed by the son of James I. 
The school was long unused for foundation purposes, but 
in 1829, it was nearly rebuilt, on the former site, in 
Merstowe-green. 

Railway. During the past spring, laudable and ener- 
getic efforts were made by the inhabitants of Evesham , 
Worcester, and other towns, to induce the Commissioners 
appointed by government to report on the best line of 
railway between London and the Welch Coast, for Dublin, 
to adopt a line, commencing from the Great Western at 
Dudcot, S. of Oxford, passing close on the N. side of 
Evesham (crossing the Avon both on the E. and W. 
side of the town), a little N. of Pershore, and on the S. 
side of the city of Worcester ; from thence to Tenbury, 
Ludlow, Newtown, Dolgelly, &c, to Portdvnliaen, on 
the N.W. coast of Caernarvonshire, N. Wales, the total 
distance being 208 miles. The Commissioner* made 
their report in April, 1840, stating their preference for 
the line '»}' railway through Chester, Bangor, and Holy- 



EVESHAM. WORCESTERSHIRE, 23 

head ; because, there being already railways constructed 
to Chester, 85 miles of Railway to Holyhead, would com- 
plete the whole required line. The time estimated to 
complete a journey from London to Dublin by the Ches- 
ter route, is 17 hours 44 minutes, the time by the Eves- 
ham, Worcester, &c, (called the Imperial line) 14 
hours and 47 minutes ; so that this route would have saved 
nearly 3 hours each journey. 

Registrar's Office, Port-street, John Wadams, 
registrar, T. Foster, High-street, Evesham, deputy regis- 
trar for the Evesham district ; and J. Tustin, sen. of 
Broadway, registrar, and J. Tustin, jun. deputy registrar 
of the Broadway district of this Union. 

Ribands have been woven here since 1822, and 
Silk-Throwing was introduced in 1792; but the latter 
is now discontinued. 

Ropes, Twine, and Sacking, are also made to a con- 
siderable extent in Bengeworth, and of good quality. 

Town, or Guildhall is an ancient substantial edi- 
fice on the N. side of the spacious Market-place, erected 
about 1570 ; it was much repaired, and an eastern wing 
added in 1833 and 4, the funds being liberally supplied 
by the members of the Corporation. On the first floor 
is the Hall, in which the Quarter Sessions for the Borough 
were held, and the Representatives are elected ; and open- 
ing from it is a second room, not quite so large as the 
first, in which the borough magistrates hold their weekly 
sessions, &c. Assemblies are also sometimes held here, 
when the gay and the light hearted, spend an evening 
joyfully together in rational recreation. This spacious 
civic edifice was lighted with gas in 1840, a new floor 
was laid in the great Hall, and other internal improve- 
ments made by subscription. The original Town-hall 
was near the bridge. 

Visiting Society, established here in 1809 ; it has 
been productive of much good in relieving the wants of 
the poor in winter, and is well supported ; Miss E. Home 
left £200. to this Society in 1829, and Miss H. Smith 
a like sum in 1 830. 

Woollen Cloth was formerly manufactured here to 
a great extent, as appears by Evesham sending a deputy 
to a council of trade in 1337, and by exclusive privileges 



24 bentley's history of 

being granted to this town, with the city of Worcester, 
and three other places in England, in 1533, but the trade 
is long since extinct. 

Workhouse, erected for the Union in 1838, is situated 
about half a mile S.E. of the town, in the parish of 
Hampton, a little above the left bank of the Avon, and 
cost £5,775. The number of inmates are from 60 to 70, 
and it will contain 250. The Union includes the parishes 
of All Saints', (w) Badsey, (t) Bretforton, (t) Broad- 
way, (t) Church Lench, (w) Church Honeybourne, (t) 
Cleeve Prior, (t) Hampton, (w) Harvington (w) 
Littleton, North, (t) and South, (t) Norton, (w) Offen- 
ham, (t) Rouse Lench, (w) St. Lawrence's, (w) St. 
Peter's, (w) Sedgeberrow, (w) and Wickhamford, (t) 
in this county, besides several others in Gloucestershire ; 
the whole including an area of 43,050 acres, and 12,537 
inhabitants. J. B. Saunders is clerk to the Board of Guar- 
dians, and John Tustin, of Broadway, is registrar for 
those of the above parishes marked thus, (t) and John 
Wadams, Port-street, Bengeworth, for those marked (w). 

The population of the borough in 1563, consisted of 
377 families; in 1811, the number of inhabitants were 
3,068; in 1821, 3,472 ; and in 1831, 3,976, of whom 
1,855 were males, and 2,121 females. In 1840, the 
population would be 4,375, by the rate of increase dur- 
ing the last 40 vears.

BLOCKLEY. WORCESTERSHIRE. 53 

The Baptist Chapel, built in 1792, being too small, 
anew one was erected by subscription in 1835, at a cost. 
of upwards of £1,000, in a conspicuous situation on the 
N. W. side of the village, and is approached by a gravel 
walk : the church members elect their minister ; the 
present pastor is the Rev. Thomas Smith; seats for 344; 
service every Sunday morning at half-past 10, and 6 in 
the evening. A Sunday school and small library are 
connected with the chapel. 

A Chapel in the village of Aston is also connected with 
this place of worship, and was built in 1832, and will 
seat 102 ; service in the afternoon at half-past 2. There

expense of £130, which will seat 94 persons ; the Rev. 
Edward Stephens, of Campden, officiates ; service at 3 
in the afternoon each Sunday. A Sunday school is 
taught in the chapel. 

A Free School was erected on a piece of ground adjoin- 
ing the church yard, by Dr. Erasmus Saunders, about 
the year 1713, but being much decayed was re-built and 
enlarged, by John Lord Northwick, in 1826. This 
school was endowed with £ 1 per annum, by Goddar 1 
Carter, Esq., Nov. 9th, 1823. The poor of Blockley 
parish enjoy the benefit of several small charities. 

The throwing of silk was established here as a branch 
of business about 1700, and at present gives employment 
to many women and children ; the male population being 
chiefly employed in agriculture.

seat of the Right Honorable Lord Northwick. The 
mansion is a noble structure, surrounded by spacious 
fertile lawns, and well wooded hills and dales, inter- 
spersed with delightful walks and drives; and the S.

The Parish Church is near the Avon, on the E. side 
of the village, and is about 600 years old ; it formerly 
had a spire, but about 1749 the present tower, contain- 
ing six bells was erected, and the church is kept in ex- 
cellent order ; the interior has been considerably altered 
and improved of late years, and contains an organ, and 
in the body of the church a monument to one of the 
Throckmorton's, dated 1445, in good preservation. The 
living is a rectory, in the gift of the Bishop of Worcester ;

forenoon at 11, and afternoon a quarter before 3 ; the 
number of sittings are 300, of which 90 are free, Thos.

hilly. There was a Chapel of ease here, which fell to

LEIGH 

Is a very extensive and fertile parish in Martley Union, 
and in the W. part of the county, containing no fewer 
than 6,493 acres: and the population is nearly 2,000. 
It includes the chapelry of Bransford to the E., and 
extends from the river Teme to the neighbouring county 
of Hereford, swelling into gentle hills as it approaches that 
county ; it contains the respectable villages of Leigh Sin- 
ton in the centre, and Malvern Link in the S., besides 
several others of less importance. 

The parish Church is situated 5 miles W. of Wor- 



88 bentley's HISTORY of 

cester, and is a stone building of Gothic architecture ; in 
the church there are several monuments of marble which 
are much delapidated. The living is a rectory, in the 
gift of Lord Somers ; the present incumbent is the Rev. 
Henry Somers Cocks, M.A., whose curate is the Rev. 
Richard Hopkins Harrison, M.A. ; service at 11 in the 
morning and 3 in the afternoon ; William Morgan is 
clerk, and there is a Sunday School in connexion with 
the church. 

The Chapel of Ease at Bransford, is about 4i miles 
S.W. of Worcester, and is an ancient edifice containing 
100 sittings ; service each Sunday afternoon at 3 ; the 
patron, incumbent, and curate, same as parish church. 

There are two Chapels belonging to the Lady Hunt- 
ingdon connexion in ihis parish, one is at Leigh-Sinton 
erected in 1831, at an expense of nearly £700., raised, 
by subscription ; service every Sunday morning at i 
past 10, and evening at 6 ; the present minister is the 
Rev. Joseph London. There is a house and a small 
burial ground belonging to the above chapel. The other 
Chapel is situated at Malvern Link, and is a well-built 
and neatly fitted up brick building, erected in 1835, at 
an expense of £300. ; it will seat about 122 ; service 
every Sunday afternoon at 3, and there is a Sunday 
School in connexion with both of the above chapels. 

Wesleyan Methodist centenary chapel at Smeethen- 
green, was erected in 1839, at an expense of £160. ; it 
was opened on the 11th of February, 1840, and will seat 
120 persons; it is a neat, well built brick edifice. 

At Leigh Sinton there is a Free School endowed with 
£21. per annum, and in Bransford Chapelry a 
school was commenced in 1838 for teaching the children 
of the poor to sew, knit, &c. one day in each week, and is 
very praiseworthily conducted by two ladies, who thus 
spend a little of their time in " doing good." The poor 
have long enjoyed the benefit of several charities, arising 
from about 32 acres of land, besides clothing and other 
articles generously given by several of the wealthy fami- 
lies in the parish, on proper occasions. At Chirkenhill, 
there was once a Chapel belonging the Abbey of Per- 
shore, suppressed by Henry VIII., but all vestiges of it 
are now gone, except a few traces of the burial ground.

GREAT MALVERN 

Is a parish extending from the Malvern hills to the river 
Severn, and is very fertile, yielding abundance of grain 
and fruit, and, excepting the hills on the W. is level, and 
a great part was once a forest; it contains 3,000 inhab- 
tants, and an area of 5,000 acres. The Village is on the 
W. of the parish, in an elevated, dry, sheltered situation, 
fronting the vale of Severn to the E., over which it com- 
mands unequalled prospects, and is 8 miles S.W. of Wor- 
cester, on the road from that city to Hereford. For 
further distances, see Table page 9. 

This is one of the most ancient, and justly celebrated 
inland watering places in Great Britain, having often been 
honoured with the visits of royalty, and being always the 
residence of many of the nobility and gentry ; her pre- 
sent Majesty, when Princess, having resided here with 
her august mother for some time. The houses, or rather 
mansions and palaces, surrounded by extensive shrub- 
beries and pleasure grounds, and set off by the majestic 
Church and Abbey Gatewaj r , are ranged at the eastern 
foot of the Malvern-hills ; and from whatever point viewed 
the appearance is imposingly sublime; nature and art 
combining with each other, to make this a perfect retreat 
i 



98 bentley's history of 

for the invalid ; whether the mind requires cheering by 
delightful and extensive prospects, or the body renovating 
with pure and invigorating air and water. Society here 
is of the first order, and during the summer the place is 
very full, often crowded. The temperature is about the 
same as London, in winter, and 3 deg. cooler in summer. 
The Church was the ancient Priory, founded in 1083, 
enlarged and improved in the end of the 15th century, 
and purchased by the inhabitants after the dissolution, 
for £200., but suffered to become a ruin. It was re- 
stored early in the present century to its former magnifi- 
cence, at an expense of above £1,000., raised principally 
by subscription; and is now one of the finest sacred 
structures in the county ; the nave has an early Norman 
appearance intermixed with Gothic ; the square embattled 
tower springs from the middle of the nave, to the height 
of 124 feet, and contains 6 bells. The interior is ex- 
tremely grand in appearance, the length being 171 feet, 
and breadth 63, and contains 1 ,000 seats, of which 280 
are free ; in the gallery, on the W. stands the organ. 
The living is a vicarage in the gift of Edward Thomas 
Foley, Esq., M.P. ; the Rev. Henry Card, D.D., is 
incumbent, and the Rev. Edward Simms, M.A. is curate. 
Service commences every Sunday morning at 11, and 
afternoon at 3, in winter at 6 ; John Burston is clerk. 
The scholars in the National Schools of both Great and 
North Malvern attend the church. 

North Hill District Church, about to be erected 
in a chapelry formed from parts of Leigh and Mathon 
in this, and Col wall and Cradley in the adjoining county ; 
near £2,000 is already subscribed for erecting this 
desirable Chapel of Ease. 

Lady Huntingdon's Chapel, built in 1827, on 
the S. side of the village, is a neat edifice of brick ; and, 
together with the Sunday School, and residence for the 
minister, cost £2,600. The interior is very neat, has a 
gallery on the W. side, and contains 400 seats, of which 
1 96 are free. The minister is appointed by the Trustees, 
and the present pastor is the Rev. John Wood ; service 
every Sunday morning at 1 1 and in the evening at 6 ; 
the Sunday School is under the chapel. 

Abbey Gateway on the W. side of the church, 



GREAT MALVERN. WORCESTERSHIRE. 99 

is an ancient edifice in good preservation, and is neatly 
pannelled ; the architecture would indicate its erection to 
have taken place in the 15th century. 

Association for the prosecution of Felons, having 
for its object the protection of the property of its mem- 
bers, is established here, but from the introduction of 
the county police, will not be so necessary as formerly. 

Dispensary established in 1830, gives medical assist- 
ance to many poor persons ; and is supported by subscri- 
bers of one guinea per annum, and the interest on all 
donations, placed in the Worcester Saving's bank. 

Drives are numerous, and remarkably pleasant and 
varied, in and around Malvern ; and they are kept in 
good order, as well as the different highways in the neigh- 
bourhood, for which advantage the inhabitants are much 
indebted to C. Morris, Esq. of London. 

Inns and Hotels are of the first order, respectability, 
and convenience here, being three in number : the Royal 
Kent Coburg and Foley Arms, the Belle Vue, and the 
Crown ; each for the most part crowded with visitors of 
rank and fashion during the summer ; and the Abbey 
Boarding House, near the church, and Mount Pleasant, 
near the Crown, are much resorted to by those wishing 
more retired homes, during their stay in this delightful 
place. 

Library and Newsroom near the Royal Kent Co- 
burg and Foley Arms Hotel, is a handsome modern 
erection, the rooms are tastefully arranged, and spacious, 
and well supplied with books, periodicals, &c. 

Lodging Houses of the most respectable class, are 
numerous, and are let furnished or unfurnished, either 
in separate apartments or altogether, as may be desired 
by visitors ; they are mostly in a chaste, decorative style 
of architecture, situated in pleasant gardens, interspersed 
with shrubs and trees, and commanding beautiful and 
extensive landscape scenery. 

Newland, is a hamlet and chapelry forming the N. E. 
part of this parish, and connected with the rectory of 
Madresfield. 

National School, Great Malvern, at the N.E. or 
lower end of the Church-yard, was erected at the expense 
of the late Lady Lyttleton, in 1817. The N. Malvern

100 bentley's history 01 

National School was erected by subscription (Her R. H. 
the Duchess of Kent, and Prince Leopold, now King of 
the Belgians, being liberal donors) in 1830; but the 
school being too small, it was rebuilt in 1838, by C. 
Moms, Esq., the most liberal and judicious patron of 
this charming retreat. These schools are partly sup- 
ported by subscription. 

Races were commenced in 1839, on a course about a 
i of a mile E. of the Church, held in July. 

Tanks were erected on the E. side of the North Hill, 
for retaining at all times a sufficiency of water for the use 
of the inhabitants, in 1835 and 6 ; at the sole expense of 
C. Moms, Esq., of London, amounting to £380. 

Visiting Society established March 20th, 1840, 
for affordmg relief to the deserving poor of the parish, 
and doing away with indescriminate charity ; J. H. 
Markland, Esq., is Secretary. 

Walks on the hills, and in the vicinity of the village, 
are very pleasant, those on the hills are particularly so ; 
and though the ascent may be laborious, when at the top 
the task of climbing is well repaid by the splendid views 
every where presented to the eye ; the highest elevation 
is 1,444 feet, and though the hills may be mere sheep 
walks, they are clothed with verdure to their summits. 
The Worcestershire Beacon is 920 feet higher than the 
village. The ascent is very steep, and from the hard 
green turf being slippery, is difficult, except on the nice 
artificial paths, from 3 to 4 feet broad, cut on the hill side 
in a zig-zag direction. There are many donkeys kept 
by the humbler villagers, which can be hired for ladies 
or invalids, at from 6d. to Is. an hour, which walk to the 
summits by these winding roads. 

Wells are three in number ; the Chalybeate Well, 
situate on the E. side of the village is much recommend- 
ed as a tonic, and a pump room has been erected for the 
accommodation of visitors. The Hay Well is a very 
celebrated spring-, and of ancient origin, and is noted for 
its regular stream and temperature, being always about 
50 degrees. St. Anns Well is on the W. side of the 
village, between Sugar-loaf -hill , and Worcester shin- 
Beacon., the spring is from a rock, and falls into a cu- 
riously carved stone receiver, in a room in St. Ann's cot-

HISTORY 

AND 

DIRECTORY OF PERSHORE 



Pershore is a market town in a hundred of the same 
name, and with 25 other parishes forms a Union ; situated 
on the right or W. bank of the Avon, the ground rising 
gently some distatance the E. and W. a little higher than 
the houses, and being on the London road from Wor- 
cester, 102 miles N.W. of the first, and 9 S.E. of the last 
named city, and 6 nearly W. of Evesham. For other 
distances, see Table, page 9. 

The town is in the parishes of Holy Cross and St. 
Andrews, consisting of a well-built respectable main 
street, about three-fourths of a mile long, the northern 
part being called High, and the southern part Bridge 
street, both begin at Broad-street, which is a fine spacious 
area ; besides these streets, there are several others branch- 
ing off in different directions. This town sent members 
to Parliament in the reign of Edward I., 1295, and is 
now very respectable; the foot way on each side of the 
main street being well flagged, and the streets being wide 
and kept in good repair, it is veiy clean and neat ; most 
of the houses in the principal streets having been rebuilt, 
this ancient town has a modern, substantial appearance ; 
some of the mansions, houses, and shops, are very exten- 
sive and handsome ; most of them have their windows pro- 
jecting out from the front, so as to command a full view 
of the whole length of the street. 



PERSHORE. WORCESTERSHIRE. 115 

Situated in the beautiful vale of Evesham, on the fer- 
tile banks of the Avon, surrounded by orchards and gar- 
dens, this town possesses important local advantages; 
and being on a navigable river, an excellent and much 
travelled road, and within about 3 miles of the Birming- 
ham and Gloucester Railway, it enjoys peculiar facilities 
for communicating with all parts of the kingdom. The 
business is principally of a local nature notwithstanding 
all these advantages, being little beyond the transmission 
of the raw products of the rich soil, consisting of wool, 
fruit, corn, vegetables, &c. ; and receiving from distant 
parts necessary articles in return. The line of the intended 
Imperial Railway passed a little N. of the town, see 
page 22. 

Pershore or as it was anciently written Persore and Pear- 
shore, originated likeEvesham,in the foundation ofa monas- 
tery, which some ascribe to Ethelbert, King of Mercia, 
in 689; but Leland says Egelward, Duke of Dorset, was 
its founder. In 984, it became an Abbey, of the Ben- 
edictine order, was very extensive and wealthy, and re- 
mained till the dissolution. The town appears to have 
suffered much from the destruction of the monastery, 
and not to have recovered fully, till the middle of the 
last century ; since which time it has greatly improved 
and extended itself, and from its numerous local advan- 
tages, will most likely continue long to do so. Of late 
years, many of the houses have been either wholly or 
partially rebuilt, and many new ones added ; and the 
inhabitants have subscribed nearly £3,000., to defray the 
expense of removing 6 houses that blocked up the E. 
end of Broad street, this judicious improvement was 
effected in 1836 and 7. 

PLACES OF WORSHIP. 

Holt Cross Parish Church once formed part of 
the stately abbey, and is said to have been 2-50 feet long, 
and 120 broad, and fouuded in 1239; the only parts now 
remaining, are the noble massive square tower, the south- 
ern part of the cross, and one of the chapels. The church 
was considerably repaired in 1774, a new organ and 
gallery was added in 1828, some improvements have 
lately been effected, and the interior is very lofty and 
elegant. The living is in connection with St. Andrew's,

Rev. William Hy. Mogridge, M.A., and the Rev. L. H. 
Rudd, M.A., is curate. 

Baptist Chapel, situated on the S. side, and near 
the W. end of Broad-street., was built about 1650, but 
being much decayed, was rebuilt on the same site by 
subscription in 1840, at an expense of £1,100., and 
opened in November. The number of sittings were 340, 
and are now 550; service at i past 10 morning, \ past 
2 in the afternoon, and \ past 6 in the evening each 
Sunday ; the chapel is licensed for solemnizing marriages, 
and the Rev. F. Overbury is minister. In 1834, a con- 
siderable addition was made to the old chapel, at an 
expense of £200., paid by B. Risdon, Esq., and the 
late Mr. Samuel Hackett, and is now used as a Sunday 
School. The Baptists also hold occasional meetings in 
Pinvin. 

The Wesletan Methodists fitted up a neat room 
near the top of High-street, in 1839, for public worship, 
which will seat 100; service Sunday afternoon at \ past 
2, evening at 6, and Friday evening at 7. 

Courts. The county magistrates hold a petty ses- 
sions, at the Office, Bridge-street, the second and fourth 
Tuesday in each month, and W. W. Woodward, is clerk. 
The Dean and Chapter of Westminster, as Lord's of the 
Manors of Pershore, Porchmouth, Binholme, and Cal- 
craft hold courts-leel, and view of frank pledge here every 
October, by the deputy steward, W. W. Woodward, 
and a court-baron for the manor of Binholme triennially, 
by two of the Prebends, and their steward James Wake, 
Esq. Mr. C. Laugher, as lord of the manors of Per- 
shore-Oldland and Pershore-Newland, holds courts leet 
and baron annually, for the appointment of constables, 
crier, &c, and Lord Coventry occasionally holds a

Fairs and Market. On Easter Tuesday and June 
26th, are extensive horse and cattle fairs ; a pleasure and 
sheep fair on the last Tuesday in October ; and a Statutes 



118 bentley's history or 

for hiring servants the Wednesday before and after 
October 11th. The horse fair is held in Newlands, 
on the W. side of the town, and the sheep, &c.. 
are in Broad and High streets. The church-yard was 
long desecrated by the June fair, but after many efforts 
by the authorities, it was removed in 1836. The Market 
day is Tuesday. 

Gardening is extensively and successfully pursued 
in the neighbourhood of Pershore, and the orchards are 
generally very productive. 

National School, a little beyond the end of Broad- 
street, on the road to Upton, was erected in the summer 
of 1840, at an expence of £1 ,000., raised by subscription, 
and a grant from the National School Society. 

Schools in Pershore are numerous, and those for 
boarders are of the most efficient and respectable class ; 
Mr. Bushell's is particularly so, and was considerably en- 
larged in the summer of 1840. 

Stocking Manufacturing was formerly an impor- 
tant business here, but is now almost extinct. 

Watch Main-springs are made in Pershore to great 
perfection, and are much esteemed by the trade. 

Woolstapling is an important business here, and 
gives employment to many people in sorting, packing, &c. 

Workhouse situated on the N. E. side of the town, 
is an extensive brick building, erected in 1836, and cost 
nearly £3,000 ; will accommodate 212 inmates, the present 
number is about 86 ; the Rev. G. Pinnock is chaplain, 
and John Taylor governor. The Union includes the

HISTORY 

AND DIRECTORY OV 

SHIPSTON-UPON-STOUR 



A Market town and parish in the upper division of Os- 
waldslow hundred, and with 36 other parishes and chap- 
elries in this and the neighhouring county forms a Union ; 
and is 83 miles N.W. of London, 32 S. of Birming- 
ham, 29 E.S.E. of Worcester, and 6 N.N.E. of More- 
ton-in-the-Marsh ; for other distances, see Table page 9. 
The name is derived from a very large sheep fair being 
formerly held here, and the place being on the Stour, 
within about 4 miles of its source, in a beautifully undu- 
lated country, whose green hills and fertile dales, still 
feed many sheep and cattle. The town is not very 
remarkable for business or wealth, the former being of a 
local nature ; but in the vicinity there are many highly 
respectable families. Being in a detached part of the 
county, surrounded by Warwickshire and Gloucestershire, 
it is more locally connected with those counties than its 
own. The parish includes an area of 1,198 acres ; tin- 
population is 1,680.

ed here since 1664, they meet every Sunday forenoon 
at 11, and at 3 in the afternoon, and on Wednesday 
forenoon at 1 1. There is also a Meeting-house at Arms- 
cot, established in 1705, in which the Friends meet

HISTORY 

AND DIRECTORY OF 

UPTON- UPON- SEVERN 



A market town on the right bank of its noble river, in 
a parish and Union of the same name, 110 miles N.W. 
of London, 6 N. of Tewkesbury, and 10 S. of Worcester, 
in a most fertile and beautiful part of the county, orna- 
mented by the seats of many of the Nobility and Gentry, 
and having on all sides rich gardens and orchards. The 
population of the parish is 2,343, and area 2,900 acres. 

This town owes its chief importance to the river, which 
is • here navigable for vessels of 110 tons, and is being 
much improved by the Worcester and Birmingham 
Canal Co. during the present summer, who have expended 
nearly £2,000 in procuring a dredging machine, worked 
by a steam engine of 8-horse power, which brings up from 
the bed of the river about 150 tons of gravel per day ; 
and it is hoped, by thus removing the shoals and banks, 
to render the river completely navigable at all seasons. 
If the silt thus obtained from the shallow places be ju- 
diciously deposited on the low banks, where the river is 
widest, there is no doubt much permanent good may 
be done to the navigation by narrowing and deepening 
the channel, in the way the Clyde and other rivers have 
been improved. 

Upton, being also within 4i miles of the B. and G. 
Railway to the E., having excellent roads, being in a 
most fertile country, and possessing several important 
branches of business, combined with its important water 
conveyance, is a place of no mean importance, nor is it 
likely to decline in any of these respects. The town 
suffered much during the civil wars, when its bridge was 
partly broken down, and a battery erected by the Royal-

ists, in the Church-yard ; but they could not prevent the 
Parliamentary forces from crossing to the W. side of the 
river, and committing considerable damage to the town 
and church, on the 28th of August, 1651. 

The Church, on the N.W. side of the town, is a 
handsome stone structure, rebuilt on the former site in 
1756, except the peculiarly constructed tower terminated 
by a cupola, and containing an excellent set of bells. The 
church contains several galleries, a small organ, and 
700 sittings ; and the span of the roof is nearly equal to 
St. George's, Hanover Square, London. The living is 
a rectory, in the gift of the Bishop of Worcester, and 
incumbency of the Rev.H. J. Tayler, B.D. ; service Sun- 
day forenoon at 11, and afternoon at 3; Robert Hart- 
land is clerk, and the Sunday school is in Bury Field. 

Baptist Chapel, near the middle, and on the E. 
side of Old-st., is a brick edifice, erected in 1734 ; the 
interior has galleries on the N., S., and W. sides, and 
contains 302 seats. The minister is appointed by the 
congregation, the present pastor is the Rev. John Freer; 
service every Sunday morning at | past 10, 3 in the 
afternoon, and 6 in the evening, and on Thursday evening 
at 7, and the Sunday school is taught in the vestry. 

Wesleyan Chapel, near the turnpike, is a brick build- 
ing erected in 1832, and contains 90 seats ; service at 
J past 2 afternoon, and 6 in the evening on Sunday, and 
at 7 every alternate Wednesday evening. 

Banks. Upton has one of these useful institutions 
for commercial purposes in High-street, a branch of the 
Tewkesbury Bank ; and a Savings Bank established in 
1818, open at the the Town Hall every Mond. from 12, 
till 2. On the 20th Nov., 1839, the number of de- 
positors in this bank were 608, and amount of deposits 
£16,632. 6s. 5d., and the interest to depositors was 
£315. 6s. 3d. for the 6 months ending May 20, 1840, 
The Rev. A. Smith, is actuary. 

Bridge over the Severn, was built in 1605, and con- 
sists of 6 red sandstone arches, two of which, on the W. 
side, were broken down by the Royalists during the 
civil war, but were restored soon afterwards.

In soliciting the attention of the Public to the above Establish- 
ment, the Proprietors feel themselves called upon to state the peculiar 
advantages they possess over any other House in the Trade. 

In the Letter-Press Printing department, they have spared no 
expense in furnishing their Office with every description of Plain and 
Ornamental Type, embracing the whole of the series of the last New 
MathematicalCombinations, &c, &c. ; and are determined, through 
the facilities they have now acquired, from the extent of their present 
Premises and the number of hands in their employ, not to be surpassed 
in the style or expeditious execution of Book-work, Pamphlets, 
Circulars, Cards, Placards, &c, &c, by any Contemporary.

BIRMINSHAI_FIRE OFFICE. 

ESTABLISHED 1805. 

CAPITAL SUBSCRIBED, £300,000. 

OF WHICH £100,000. IS PAID UP, 
AND AT ALL TIMES AVAILABLE FOR CLAIMS UPON THE ESTABLISHMENT. 



The following are among the peculiar and important advantages offered 
by this old established Office : — 

1.— PERFECT SECURITY— The ample Capital of £300,000, of which 
£100,000 is paid up, under the immediate management of the Board of 
Direction, is guaranteed by an opulent proprietary for the security of the 
Assured. 

II.— HONOUR AND LIBERALITY IN THE SETTLEMENT OF 
LOSSES. — The well known character of the Members of the Direction, 
affords on this head every possible security ; and the Managers confi- 
dently appeal to the experience of the last thirty-five years, as the best 
evidence of the promptitude with which all claims'have been settled. 

III.— MODERATE RATES OF PREMIUM— The Rates are fully as low 
as those adopted by other Offices of character and experience. 

IV— RETURNS OF PREMIUM.— The Insured are not liable to be called 
upon to make good the Losses of others, as in the cases of Offices that profess 
to divide their profits among Insurers; and who to effect this object, are 
obliged to charge high Premiums, a fact that can be directly ascertained by 
comparing the proposals of such Offices, with those of this Establishment. 

V.— ALL LOSSES ARE PAID IN CASH without deduction or discount, 

VI.— LOSSES BY LIGHTNING ARE MADE GOOD. 

No charge is made for Policies when removed from other Offices.

PREFACE. 



I submit this most useful, and in many respects 
novel, Hand-book to an approving public, with feel- 
ings of unmixed pleasure ; its compilation having been 
made a delightful, instead of a laborious task, by the 
almost unexceptionably kind manner in which I, and 
my various agents have been received, in the pro- 
secution of our numerous and very particular enquiries. 
Wherever facts could be obtained, whether historical 
or personal, no labour has been spared, or second- 
ary evidence received; and I wish the municipal 
authorities, the magistracy, the clergy, the professional 
gentlemen, the merchants, manufacturers, and inhab- 
itants generally, (for we have had to visit almost 
every one) to receive this public testimony to their 
kindness and urbanity, as a grateful but just tribute 
from their humble servant. 

As a return for this kindness, I have endeavoured 
with considerable success, to make this book worthy 
of the people for whose use it is made, and have no 
hesitation in saying, that the more it is compared 
with other works of a similar kind, the more my 
numerous patrons will feel satisfied their kindness has 
not been thrown away. My ambition will be, to con- 
tinue thus to appreciate, and merit general favour; 
and to get up the six remaining volumes of this 



^ 



IV. PREFACE. 

work equally in every respect to this, the first in 
order of publication, but the sixth in alphabetical 
arrangement. In a book containing so many thou- 
sand facts, it would be presumptions to suppose every 
one of them strictly correct, but I hope, and have 
every reason to believe, errors to be as few and as 
far between, as in any work of this kind, nevertheless 
" to err is human." 

One of the principal, and distinguishing features 
of this work, is the plan of issuing each town, and 
its neighbourhood, in successive volumes, in such a 
manner, that while each is complete in itself, they 
shall all form appropriate and corresponding links, in 
the same uniform series ; so that any one may obtain 
an history and directory of their own locality, at a 
trifling expense ; and if so inclined, also an interesting 
topography of their own county, by ordering the 
remainder of the volumes to be delivered periodically, 
as they are completed. By this arrangement, the infor- 
mation is put into the hands of the public at the 
earliest possible moment after it is taken, instead of 
being kept 6, 9, or 12 months, till the whole is 
completed, as is the case with all works of this kind 
ever attempted before ; which works must unavoid- 
ably be incorrect when they are published, if they 
were compiled correctly, because of deaths, remo- 
vals, &c. 

I might now take my respectful leave of the public, 
till my next volume is issued, was it not for an 
enquiry sometimes made, and which may again be 






PREFACE. V. 

repeated, why I, as a stranger unconnected with this 
county, should select it, in preference to any other 
of the thirty -nine English counties. I cannot give 
an answer to that question without explaining at 
some length, my views and motives, things that 
would perhaps come better from others ; but as the 
British public is concerned in these things, and as 
my business is arrived at that stage when publicity 
is desirable, I now answer that enquiry, though doing 
so here may appear more historical than prefaratory. 

It has always been a truism with me, that poverty 
and crime exist among any people, in proportion to 
their want of religious, moral, scientific, and indus- 
trial information ; but so little is positively known 
on this subject, and so few fair opportunities are 
available for proving this fact, so clearly as to pro- 
duce conviction on many minds, that great difficul- 
ties oppose the progress of public opinion on this 
subject. To do all in my power to remove these 
difficulties, I commenced the compilation of educa- 
tional statistics in 1832, for Manchester. In 1833, 
I extended my enquiries to the whole of England 
and Wales, and in 1838, published a tabular view 
of the proportion of schools, booksellers, mechanic 
Institutions, &c, and of criminals in each county, 
and in N. and S. Wales; which table clearly proves, 
from facts which cannot be disputed, that education 
is the most effectual preventative of crime. 

This table would have cost at least £1,000. in 
its compilation, if prosecuted as an independent en- 
quiry ; but being, during the whole of that time, 
engaged in compiling the National Commercial Direc- 
tory, for the eminent firm of Pigot and Co., I was 
enabled to collect the facts along with our other 
information at a comparatively trifling expense ; though 
it took above five years to complete it. 

Since I commenced that work, various statistical 
societies have been formed for collecting information 



VI. PREFACE. 

on this subject; and the Manchester Statistical Society 
has done much in this good cause ; having compiled 
the educational statistics of Manchester, Salford, Liver- 
pool, Bolton, Bury, York, and the county of Rutland, 
at a very considerable expense; defrayed from their 
own funds, and those of the British Association. 
Reports for all those places except the last, are 
now published; but they do not shew the state 
of crime, as well as education ; being chiefly intended 
to shew how deficient the means for good education 
are in all parts of England, to arouse public atten- 
tion to the fact, and thus endeavour to remedy this 
fatal evil in our social arrangements. 

The British Government has also done much in 
this good cause, since I first commenced my labours ; 
returns have been made of the state of education of 
all criminals since 1834, but the answers to all their 
Educational enquiries having been made out by inter- 
ested parties, no reliance whatever can be placed on 
any Parliamentary documents, either as to the num- 
ber of Schools, scholars, or teachers ; as government 
possesses no means of getting this information cor- 
vectly, having been obliged to give up their intention 
of appointing school inspectors, during the session 
of 1839. Whether they will renew their attempt to I 
appoint school inspectors, or whether they will avail I 
themselves of the periodical taking of the census 
next year, to get an account of the number of schools, 
scholars, &c, will be seen when the time arrives. 

Being extremely desirous of extending my enqui- 
ries, on Educational and Criminal statistics, to the i 
subjects included in my Prospectus, page 232, or of seeing 
some society take the matter up, whose character for 
accuracy, and diligent patient enquiry, would be a 
guarantee for the faithful execution of such an under- 
taking ; I submitted a plan for collecting all the edu- 
cational facts in four English counties, to the British ; 
Association, during its meeting in Birmingham last | 
August. The proposal was highly appreciated by the 
Section to which it was submitted, but the difficulty 
found in getting sufficient funds to carry on the 
statistical enquiries in such a small county as 



PREFACE. Vll. 

Rutland, made it utterly impossible for the Section 
to entertain a proposal for collecting the information 
in one, much less four, such large counties as those 
mentioned in my plan. 

At the same time I had the honor of a long inter- 
view with the talented advocate for general educa- 
tion, Mr. Wise, M.P., who pronounced a high 
eulogium on my project, and on the National good 
which might be effected thereby, if I could only 
get the means for collecting the information, and 
laying it before the world in a popular form ; but 
under present circumstances, he considered it very 
unlikely that government could do any thing in 
the matter. 

Disappointed in my hopes of assistance from others, 
but still ardently desirous of attaining my object, I 
naturally turned to examine my own stock of means 
for doing that which others considered too great to 
be attempted. When I reflected on the very extended 
patronage bestowed by the British public on all 
Geographical publications of merit, and that my 
Plane terrestial Globe and Geography cost only one 
fourth the price of any other work of the kind, being 
at the same time more portable and convenient. 
Having been long and successfully engaged in com- 
piling the National Directory, possessing much local 
and general knowledge of the country, and of the 
arrangements necessary to ensure accuracy in such 
works ; and reflecting on the great utility of local 
Directories and Histories when authentically compiled, 
I thought it not too sanguine an estimate when I 
supposed, that if neither government, nor any other 
public institution, would make arrangements for col- 
lecting the requisite statistical information, for operating 
successfully on public opinion in favour of general 
Education, these sources would provide the means. 

I was right, the public have purchased the first 
1,000 copies of my Plane Globe and Geography in 
four months, and the citizens of Worcester have 
favoured me with 600 orders for this volume, which 
is nearly double the number I expected, and my 



Till. PREFACE. 

agents are equally as successful in all parts of the 
county they have yet visited. The friends of Educa- 
tion may now rest assured, that in two years the 
great religious and moral problem will be solved, 
and they will be able to judge for themselves, the 
exact extent to which Education diminishes crime 
in our country, by having the total amount of 
labour and money spent in these two departments 
of our social arrangements for two counties where 
crime is much above the average, (Worcester being 
one) and two where crime is much below the 
average, contrasted with each other; compiled by 
the same parties, on the same plan, entirely by 
personal enquiry ; and this will be done without par- 
liamentary, or any other aid than the patronage 
bestowed by the public on my humble efforts to 
serve the Educational and Commercial world. 

I have thus put the public in possession of the 
combination of facts, and reasons, why I have com- 
piled this volume, and my object in compiling the 
remaining volumes of this, and the three other series ; 
and I earnestly hope, the All-wise disposer of events 
will continue to bless me with health, and mental 
vigour, till this arduous task is achieved ; and enable 
me to produce such a mass of indisputable evidence, 
of the influence judicious training of the young has 
in diminishing crime and poverty, as to induce all 
parents who hear or see them, to make every sacri- 
fice in their power, to obtain a good education 
for their children ; to convince the wealthy, that in 
proportion as the Educational Institutions of our 
country (from the Sabbath school to the University) 
are well supported and conducted, we can dispense 
with the services of the constable, the policeman, 
and the gaoler; and make every one believe, that 
the property in no country can be secure, or its 
peace be long undisturbed, while many millions 
of the people of that country are ignorant, or 
almost ignorant, of the rights of property and indus- 
try, and of the blessings of peace. 

This volume, I humbly, hope, will be found to 



PREFACE. XI. 

contain abundant evidence of my zeal in the cause 
of commerce, and of the efficiency of my arrange- 
ments for ensuring a faithful delineation of useful 
facts; and for laying those facts before the world in such 
a respectable, and at the same time cheap form, as to 
meet the approval, and suit the means of all classes. 
For the very nattering testimony of public favour, 
which thus enables me to urge on the tide of pro- 
gressive civilization, I here tender to my numerous 
patrons, individually and collectively, the most sincere, 
and hearty thanks of 

Their devoted servant, 

JOSEPH BENTLEY.

HISTORY 

AND 

DIRECTORY OF WORCESTER. 



2. Worcester is a very ancient,but handsome opulent 
and substantially built city, borough, county town, county 
of itself, and bishop's see ; principally on the left bank 
of the Severn, and 3i miles W. of the Birmingham and 
Gloucester Railway ; 65 miles N.N.E. of Bristol, 65 S.W. 
of Derby, 29 N. of Gloucester, 126 S.W. of Liverpool, 
35 W. of Warwick, and 1 1 1 N.W. of London ; the dis- 
tance to every town in the county, and to Birmingham, 
Cheltenham, and Hereford, will be found in the general 
Table No. 1. 

3. Situated in an extensive, very fertile, and gently un- 
dulated plain, on the margin of a deep rapid navigable 
river, the advantageous site of this city was discerned 
and selected by the ancient Britons, adopted by the Roman 
and other invaders of our sea-girt isle, as favourably placed 
for security, and for readily obtaining the raw products 
of the earth, and the fruits of the chase, which then formed 
the chief wealth of mankind. 

4. In more modern times, it became a place of religious 
celebrity, and being a key to the passage into Wales, was 
often the seat of war; but now, from its solid, modern, and 
highly architectural buildings, well arranged streets, and 
splendid squares, it is become one of the most respectable, 
and from its favourable position for trade and commerce, 
one of the most busy cities in the empire, and, from the 
taste and enterprise of its inhabitants, one of our most 
successful manufacturing towns ; and few people patron- 
ize the fine arts, the useful and the ornamental sciences, 
or encourage every thing that tends to make us better, 
wiser, or more holy, so much as the citizens of Worcester. 

5. As this city equals most, and excels many places in 
these constituents of civilization, I now propose that it 
shall equal, or excel other places, in having a necessary 

B 



14 bentley's history of 

and most useful hand-book for its inhabitants, or their 
visitors ; whereby all places and persons likely to be en- 
quired for, may be most readily found, by which means 
much valuable time may be saved, and convenience afforded 
to all, at an expense suitable to the means of all. Such 
a companion is the more required just now, because of the 
vastly increased intercourse of minds, with each other, con- 
sequent on the adoption of the Penny postage, and the 
increased facility for travelling by Railway, Steam-boat, &c. 
I propose issuing a volume of this kind every six or seven 
weeks, till the whole county is completed, which will form 
a useful addition to the library of seven elegant volumes, 
published on such terms as to be within the reach of the 
most humble. 

6. That the ancient Britons had dwellings here appears 
evident from many of their remains, the most lately dis- 
coverd are, a stone celt found in Grimley, opposite the 
Isle of Bevere a little above Worcester, in 1835 ; a bronze 
metal celt found in the said Isle in 1809, and a Torgue, 
or ornamental collar worn by the ancient British Chiefs, 
found on the left bank of the river in Perdiswell. It has 
long been a matter of controversy among antiquarians, 
whether the Romans had actually a station in the city, but 
this is now placed beyond doubt, principally through the 
zealous and judicious labours of Jabez Allies, Esquire, of 
Worcester ; to whom the world is chiefly indebted, for 
the facts here given on this subject, as detailed in an 
excellent paper read by him to the Worcestershire 
Natural History Society, November, 20th, 1839. 

7. On the left bank of the Severn, at a place called 
Cinder point, is abed of scoria and iron clinkers, which ex- 
tends some distance under the Pitchcroft, and as far under 
the city as Broad-street, and is considered the refuse of a 
Roman foot blast for smelting iron. In digging the foun- 
dation of the house, now in the centre of Brittania-sqmue, 
in 1829, the foundation of what is supposed to have been 
a Roman circular tower, or fort of sandstone was found, 
about SO feet in circumference ; and in the rubbish, were 
found nearly 100 Roman coins, many of them much de- 
cayed, principally of Cons tan tius, and Constantine the 
Great ; also of Decentius, Claudius Gothicus, Magnentius, 
&c, which are now in the collection of the Worcester- 



WORCESTER. WORCESTERSHIRE. 15 

shire Natural History Society, being presented by H. B. 
Tymbs, Esquire. A vast mound of earth, the keep of 
the ancient Norman castle, on the S. side of the Cathedral, 
has been entirely removed, and in 1833, an urn or jug of 
red earth with a handle, was found near its base, contain- 
ing coins of Vespasian, Caligula, Nero, Tiberius, Adrian, 
Antonius Pius, &c. In June 1797, a very perfect coin of 
Nero was found, about 10 feet below the surface when 
digging to make a drain in Broad -street, which is now in 
the possession of Mrs. Spriggs. 

8. These facts, and many others which might be given, 
tend to prove that one of the forts, said by Tacitus to 
have been built by the Propraetor, Ostorius Scapula, on 
the Avon and the Severn, must have been where the city 
now stands. John Ross, an antiquarian writer in the 
reign of Edward the IV., also states, on the faith of an 
old British Chronicle, that Worcester was founded (per- 
haps rebuilt) by Constantius Caesar, in 305. 

9. The Saxons long occupied the city, the Cathedral 
appears to have been founded by them in 680, and dedi- 
cated to St. Peter, and another and more splendid one 
dedicated to the Virgin Mary was completed during the 
reign of Etheldred II. in 983, in the old church-yard. 
In pulling down the ancient Church of St. Clements in 
1824, a Saxon gold coin was found by one of the work- 
men, it is now in the possession of T. H. Spurrier, Esq., 
of Edgbaston, who gave £10. for it ; but the antiquarian 
world is chiefly indebted to J. Allies, Esquire, for the evi- 
dence which proves its genuineness ; and which goes to 
disprove all that has been written about the * Saxons liav- 
ing no gold coin, this appearing to be the only one ever 
found. It weighs 54i grains, is very perfect, considering 
it was struck in the reign of Edward the Confessor, it 
bears his profile, and Edpherd Rex, and on the reverse 
Lyfinc on PARING ; which means it was struck by 
Lyfinc in Warwick, the letters are all Saxon. 

10. Few places have known more of the mis-" fortunes 
of war." In 1041, Canute II, the last Danish King of Eng- 
land, ordered all the inhabitants to be slain, and their city 
destroyed, because they refused to pay Danegelt or tribute. 
The people saved themselves by taking refuge on the 
island of Bevere, in the Severn, but the latter part of the 



16 bentley's history of 

Decree was executed. The city was soon rebuilt (for in 
those days a house in England was little better than an 
Esquimaux wigwam of the present day) and flourished 
under the Normans, but was burnt down in 1113, and 
again in 1133. In the contest between King Stephen, 
and the Empress Maud who supported the claims of her 
son Henry, afterwards Henry II., this city was pillaged 
and burnt in 1139 by the troops of the Empress, and in 
1 149 it suffered the same fate at the hands of Stephen's 
troops. Henry was afterwards crowned in the Cathedral 
in 1157, three years after he ascended the throne, having 
been crowned twice before elsewhere. 

1 1 . The rebellious Barons under the Earl of Derby, 
took and plundered the city, and killed many of the inhabi- 
tants in 1263, and in 1265, Edward son of Henry III. 
here raised the standard and succeeded in liberating his 
captive father at the celebrated battle of Evesham, which 
will be more fully noticed in our description of that ancient 
borough . Th e said E dward, when afterwards E dward III. 
held a Parliament here, and he often visited this city in 
gratitude for the attachment shewn him by the citizens. 

12. From 1340 to 1360, Worcester suffered much from 
pestilence, and in 1401 the army under Owen Glendwr 
committed dreadful ravages here. Hollinshed says Henry 
VI. came here after the battle of Blore-heath, and though 
Stow asserts it was Gloucester, yet it is evident the citizens 
of Worcester must, either by protecting or some way 
favouring Henry VI., have offended his successor Henry 
VII., for several of them were beheaded at the High 
Cross, and 500 marks were paid for the redemption of 
the city, by the rest of the citizens. 

13. Queen Elizabeth visited the city in 1574 and was 
suitably received by the people. A fatal pestilence carried 
away 1551 of the inhabitants, during six months of the 
year 1637, and before the city was recovered from this 
severe visitation, it became the theatre of war between 
Charles I. and his Parliament ; a fierce battle took place 
here between the contending parties (both claiming the 
victory) in 1641, the city was beseiged the same year, 
and again in 1646. 

14. On the 22nd August, 1651, Charles, afterwards 
Charles II. entered Worcester with 10,000 Scotch and 



WORCESTER. - WORCESTERSHIRE. 17 

*2,000 English and after various efforts, was totally defeated 
on the 3rd of September, and narrowly escaped the fate 
which befel Charles I. two years before. The bloody conflict 
took place at Perry -wood and Red-hill, and the victorious 
party afterwards committed fatal excesses in the city. The 
following letter, written by Oliver Cromwell, who com- 
manded the Parliamentary forces at this memorable battle, 
and who was proclaimed Protector of the Commonwealth, 
or Republic two years afterwards, will shew a little of the 
conflict, and of the state of our language at that time, and 
much of the writer's style of writing. 

lo. "A Letter from the Lord Generall,for the Honour- 
able William Lenthall, Esquire, Speaker of the Parliament. 

" Sir, — Being so weary, and scarce able to write, yet 
I thought it my duty to let you know thus much. That 
upon this day, being the third of September, (remarkable 
for a mercy vouchsafed to your forces on this day twelve- 
month in Scotland) we built a bridge over Severn, between 
it and Thame, about half a mile from Worcester, and 
another over Thame within pistol shot of the other bridge. 
Lieut, generall Fleetwood, and Major generall Deane, 
marched from Upton on the south-west side of the Sev- 
ern, up to Powick, a town which was a passe the enemy 
kept. We past over some horse and foot, and were in 
conjunction with the lieutenant-generall's forces. We 
beat the enemy from hedge to hedge, till we beat them 
into Worcester. The enemy then drew all his forces on 
the other side of the town, all but what he lost, and made 
a very considerable fight with us for three hours space ; 
but in the end we beate them totally, and pursued him 
to his royal fort, which we tooke, and indeed have beaten 
his whole army. 

16. " When we tooke this fort, we turned his owne guns 
upon him. The enemy hath had a great losse, and cer- 
tainly is scattered and run severall wayes : we are in 
pursuite of him, and have laid forces in severall places, 
that we hope will gather him up. 

17. " Indeed this hath been a very glorious mercy, and 
as stiffe a contest for four or five houres, as ever I have 
seen : both your old forces and those new raised, have 
behaved themselves with very great courage, and he that

The Lord God Almighty frame our hearts to reall thank - 
fulnesse, for this which is alone his doing. I hope I shall 
within a day or two, give you a more perfect account ; in 
the mean time I hope you will pardon, Sir, your most 
humble servant, 

O. CROMWELL." 

" Near Worcester, 3 Sept. 1651, 
"10 at night." 

18. This complete victory ruined the royal cause, es- 
tablished the Commonwealth or Republic, and terminated 
the scenes of blood and rapine to which this loyal city 
was so often subject ; and its future history will be found 
written in the establishment of new, or the enlarging of 
existing Institutions for Devotion, Education, Benevo- 
lence, or rational amusement ; in the creation of new, or 
the improvement of old facilities for Trade, Commerce, or 
Manufactures ; or in the widening, improving, and beau- 
tifying of its Streets, Squares, and Public buildings; every 
year adding something to the previously existing means 
of municipal and social comfort. 

19. The ancient Britons had undoubtedly a Church 
here Ion*? before 680, in which vear it was made a Cathe- 
dral dedicated to St. Peter ; and its first bishop, Bosel, 
appointed by Ethelred, King of Mercia. The Minster 
Monastery or Convent of St. Mary's, was founded about 
743, and in 983, Bishop Oswald completed a splendid 
Cathedral, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, in the church- 
yard of the old cathedral, furnished it with twenty-eight 
alters, and, by his supposed sanctity, drew away all the 
people from St. Peter's, which became neglected and 
fell to ruins. In 1041 this sacred edifice shared the fate 
of the city (Sec. 10) ; and in 1084 Bishop Wulstan laid 
the foundation of a new cathedral, on a large and splendid 
scale, which was completed in 1089 ; but which shared 
the fate of the city and castle in 1113 (Sec. 10), only the 
walls being left standing. After being repaired it was 
again burnt in April, 1202, and stood in ruins a consider- 
able time, when it was again repaired, and was conse- 
crated in the presence of Henry III. and many nobles, 
June 7, 1218,and dedicated to "'Mary the Holy Mother 



"WORCESTER. . WORCESTERSHIRE. 19 

of God, the blessed apostle Peter, and the Saints Oswald 
and Wulstan." In 1224 Bishop Blois commenced the 
Nave, which formed a very considerable addition to the 
cathedral ; and in 1380 Bishop Wakefield made several 
useful and ornamental alterations, as well as several other 
subsequent prelates ; and the noble structure remains, a 
splendid specimen of light chaste Gothic, intermixed 
with Saxon and Norman architecture. Here the anti- 
quarian and the curious historian will find ample employ- 
ment, and the man of taste will find great difficulty in 
deciding which to admire most, the stately grandeur of 
its noble aisles, with their richly vaulted roofs, the mas- 
terly productions of the chisel which here adorn the 
sepulchres of the great and good, or the chastity of its 
exterior architecture. 

20. The interior is divided into the Choir, the part now 
used for divine worship, which contains 420 seats (includ- 
ing the -50 stall put up in 1397) out of which number 
156 are free. Our Lady's, Prince Arthur's, the Bishop's 
and the Dean's Chapels, the Great Cross Aisle, the Nave 
with its two aisles, the Chapter House and Library 
(founded in 1057, containing 8,000 volumes), the Audit 
Hall, College Hall and King's School, the Consistory 
Court, and the ancient Cloisters. All these, together 
with the ancient, the curious, and the splendid monuments 
they contain, are shown and partly described by the 
sextons, for which they receive fees from the visitors. 
Among the illustrious dead will be found here, Saints 
Oswald and Wulstan, King John, Prince Arthur, sixteen 
Bishops, and two Judges. Besides these, the Bishop's 
throne, the curiously carved stone pulpit, and the organ, 
are well deserving of notice. The crypt is a vault under 
the choir, appropriated for interment since 1817. 

2 1 . The total length of this sacred edifice from E. to W. 
is 396 feet inside the walls, breadth of the nave and aisles 
78 feet, length of the choir 124 feet, its height being 68, 
and the height of the nave 66 feet. The massive and 
majestic Tower, completed in 1374, rises from the centre 
of the great cross aisle to the height of 167 feet, each of 
its four corners being terminated hy a pinnacle of open 
work, and its sides are richly ornamented by curious mason 
work, and sculpture, it was finished in 1374 ; the upper 
paTts are enlivened by the presence of a few rooks. 



20 bentley's history of 

Within the tower are eight bells, five bearing inscrip- 
tions, the first being "God save the King, 1640," and 
the eighth — 

" I, sweatly toaling, men doe call, 

To taste on meate that feads thesoule. — 1648." 

22. Considerable renovations and alterations in the ex- 
terior of the cathedral have been effected during the last 
few years, and others are in course of execution. Among 
other things, the pinnacles, which were previously all 
like the two tall slender ones in front of the tower in the 
beautiful vignette furnished by our artist, being much 
decayed by time, have been replaced by the present 
ornamental ones. 

23. This Bishopric once formed part of the see of 
Lichfield, from which it was separated in 679 ; it then 
included the present diocese of Bristol, and that of 
Gloucester as an archdeaconry, the latter was separated 
and constituted an independent bishopric in 1541, and the 
former in 1542. By an order in council, December 26, 
1836, the archdeaconry of Coventry was added to this 
bishopric, and it now includes the whole of Warwickshire, 
nearly all Worcestershire, Brome and Clent in Stafford- 
shire, and Hales Owen in Shropshire, and contains 
411 livings.

few old houses, intended to be pulled down as soon as 
the funds for purchasing them are raised by subscrip- 
tion. This church was founded early in the 13th 
century, but being much injured during the civil wars, 
the present substantial stone structure, with a tower con-

ing at the junction of Mealcheapen, Church, and St. S within 
streets, and the Shambles ; erected in 1736, but origi- 
nally founded prior to 1240. It contains many fine mo- 
numents, an organ, said to be the first erected in the city, 
and a curiously carved oak pulpit ; and its high-vaulted 
roof, supported without pillars, (except two small ones at 
the communion,) conspire to make this a very elegant 
church. The living is a rectory, in the patronage of the 
Dean and Chapter, and Incumbency of the Rev. Thomas 
Harward Shirley, M.A., whose curate is the Rev. John 
Herbert. Service commences every Sunday morning at 
1 1 , and at 6 in the evening, there are seats for 372 persons;

a spacious brick edifice, containing seats for 600 persons ; 
the girls Sunday School is in the vestry, and the boys in 
Lowesmoor. For 143 years previous to 1817, the con- 
gregation meeting here had only four pastors, ( a remarkable

minister ; the Rev. Enoch Williams is the present pastor ; 
service commences every Sunday morning at half-past 10, 
in the evening at 6, and on Wednesday evening at 7 ; 
and marriages take place there.

commodious edifice, joined by a short avenue to Sansom- 
walk, erected by Edward Bourne, Physician, in 1701 , and 
enlarged in 1832, at an expense of £395. The Society 
appears to have originated about 1657, from the labours 
of George Fox ; the regular meetings commenced in ] 670, 
in a house in Copenhagen-street, then called Cooken-street ; 
but the Society was very much persecuted, even by the 
public authorities of the city ; they afterwards had a 
meeting-house hi Friar-street. They meet every Sunday 
morning at 10, and in the afternoon at 3 in winter, and in 
summer at 10 in the morning and 6 in the evening ; and 
also on Thursday morning at 10; the chapel contains 
400 sittings, besides commodious committee rooms.

ary walk. Another congregation of Independents erected 
a chapel on the site now occupied by the Wesleyan 
chapel, in Pump-street, in 1778, (see 47) but the Wes- 
leyans purchased and pulled it down in 1796, to make 
room for a larger edifice, since which time, there appears 
to have been only one congregation of Independents in 
the city. In 1835, Mr. Edward Wall, of 84, High-street, 
erected a neat Sunday School, at an expense of more 
than £200., in Lock-street, behind the Methodist Asso- 
ciation chapel in Park-street, (see 46) which will seat 
100 ; he very laudably continues to conduct and support 
the School, and the Scholars attend this chapel. 

44. Lady Huntingdon's chapel was erected in Bird- 
port-street in 1772, rebuilt in 1804 on an enlarged plan, 
and in 1815 it was considerably enlarged, at an expense of

more than any other place of worship in the city ; 288 of 
these sittings are free. In January, 1840, a new organ

congregation elect the minister ; the chapel is now with- 
out a pastor, but service commences at half-past 10 
every Sunday morning, in the evening at 6; and on

London Road. In December, 1838, a separation of the 
congregation took place, a considerable portion, with the 
minister, founded Lady Huntingdon's chapel in 
Lowesmoor, opposite the canal basin, which they pur- 
chased from the Wesleyan Methodists for £500., though 
the building of the chapel cost that body £910. 6s. 9d. in 
1823. During the year 1839, the body of this chapel has 
been pewed, and a deep front gallery added, and an excel- 
lent Sunday School, and house for the minister, have 
been erected adjoining the chapel, together with other 
improvements which have cost £940. The congregation 
elect the minister; the Rev. Edward Lake, who officiated 
thirty years at Birdport-street chapel, is the present 
pastor; service commences every Sunday morning at

and near the High -street end of Pump-street, is a com- 
modious and well-built edifice, erected in 1 796 on the site 
of the former Independent chapel, (see 43) and in 1812, 
the congregation having greatly increased, the sum of 
£8,016. was expended in enlarging and improving the 
chapel, and making it suitable for the accommodation of the 
congregation to which it belongs. The minister is ap-

pointed by Conference ; the Rev. Frederick Calder is the 
present pastor ; service commences at half-past 10 every 
Sunday morning, and 6 in the evening ; also on Wednes- 
day evening at 7 ; and the number of sittings is 1 ,000; 224 
being free. There appears to have been a congregation 
here, ever since their founder, Mr. Wesley, visited this city 
in 1765; their first chapel was built in New-street in 
1772, and opened by that zealous and indefatigable divine. 
The Sunday School is at present taught under the chapel 
and in the vestry, but a new School is about to be erected 
iu Friar-street. The Wesleyan Methodists also opened 
a large Room for divine service at the Moors, between 
Britannia-square and the Race-ground, in 1838, which will 
seat about 200 ; service every Sunday afternoon at 3, in 
the evening at half-past 6 ; and on Tuesday evening at 
7. The Sunday School is held in the same room. 

47. Primitive Methodists' Chapel is in South- 
street, Blackhouse, opened in 1824, and capable of seating 
about 1 70. Service commences every Sunday morning at 
half-past 10, and at 6 in the evening. 

48. A sect calling themselves Plymouth Brethren, 
meet every Sunday evening at 6, in the room formerly 
occupied by the Worcester Library, in Nicholas-street, 
but they have no minister. The room was opened by 
them in September, 1839, and will seat about 170. 

49. A particular account of all the charity, and other 
public Schools, will be given in the seventh volume, with 

he other Schols in the county, so it is unnecessary to 
introduce them here ; the name of each school, with 
the name of the Teacher, &c, will be found in the alpha- 
betical Directory of Worcester, and in the classified part 
also. The following sketch of the Public Buildings, 
Institutions, Manufactories, Hospitals, Chari- 
ties, &c, will be found to contain much really useful in- 
formation, and to make it more ready for reference, each 
head is arranged in alphabetic order. 

50. Agricultural Society, Worcestershire, estab- 
lished in 1838, for " the aid and advancement of Agricul- 
ture ; and for the encouragement of skill, industry, and good 
conduct among cottagers, servants, and labourers in Hus- 
bandry." Mr. John C. Nott is honorary secretary. It is a 
matter of astonishment, that this county should have so 



30 bentley's history of 

lately established an Institution of this kind, and can only 
be accounted for on the principle, that it is naturally so fer- 
tile, that little effort is required to cause the earth to bring 
forth sufficient produce to supply the wants of the land- 
lord, the farmer, and the peasant. These kind of socie- 
ties have done more for land-owners, and land-tillers in 
Scotland, than could have been done by any Act of Par- 
liament, and wherever they have been firmly established, 
they have raised rents, profits, and wages. Mr. R. 
Moore Greenhill, Secretary, and Mr. John C. Nott, of 
Hallow, Honorary Secretary. This Society distributed 
about £50. in prizes, &c, this year. The East Lothian 
Agricultural Society, distributes annually about £300., 
and its meetings are distinguished by the production of 
original papers, and discussions on draining, general 
husbandry, and the whole science of Agriculture. That 
country contains only 290 square miles, 38,291 inhabit- 
ants, and was valued at £251,126. per annum in 1815 ; 
while this country was valued at £820,02 1 ; the popu- 
lation is now 235,363, and its area is 729 square miles. 
A society was established here in 1816, but became 
extinct ; this Institution, capable of doing so much 
good, will be more fully described, and its objects de- 
veloped, in our seventh volume. 

51. Angling Society, established 1838, for pro- 
tecting the streams from poaching, and awarding prizes 
for successful fishing, essays on the piscatorial art, &c. 
Mr. H. George is Secretary. 

52. Anti-slavery Society, established September 
29, 1825, but on the happy extinction of personal slavery 
on the first of August, 1838, it was no longer necessary ; 
and on the 26th of July, 1839, this society was merged 
in a Society for the universal abolition of Sla- 
very and the Slave-trade, at a public meeting held 
for that purpose, of which Society, Samuel Darke is Se- 
cretary. 

53. Athen.eum, founded in January, 1829, on the 
model of our Mechanics' Institutions, happily now so 
general throughout Great Britain, where our working 
classes may acquire an education equally as useful as that 
furnished at our Colleges 100 years ago; instead cf spend- 
ing their evenings in useless frivolity, or what is worse,

dissipation. The subscription here, is 3s. per quarter, 
honorary members 5s., and donors, of £ 10., honorary life- 
members. Member's Tickets are transferable, and those 
of honorary members, admit two to the Lectures ; the 
number of subscribers is about 220 ; the library contains 
2,000 volumes, and there are evening classes for mutual 
instruction, music, french, mathematics, &c. ; and the 
laboratory contains excellent Pneumatic, Mechanical, 
Chemical, and other apparatus; the building was erected 
in 1834, by W. Laslett Esq., and is behind the Museum 
of the Natural History Society, in Foregate-street, being 
approached through Athenaeum-court. The building 
contains a Lecture-room 40 feet by 28, lighted from 
above, sometimes used by the Society of Arts for exhi- 
bitions of Paintings, also the reading aud class room, 
library, and rooms for the librarian, C. Mence. The 
lecture season is from September to May. 

54. Banks. Of these useful monetary institutions, 
Worcester has the good fortune to possess five, four 
of them being for the mercantile part of the commu- 
nity, one for the humble but careful thrifty artizan. 
Worcester Old Bank, was established in 1761, and 
is situated in High-street, near the top of Broad-street. 
Worcester Bank was established in 1798, and is 
situated at the Cross, nearly opposite the top of Broad- 
street. The National Provincial Bank of Eng- 
land, established a branch here in 1835, situated near 
the top of Broad-street, on the S. side. The Hereford- 
shire Banking Company established a branch in Fore- 
gate-street, opposite the Star and Garter Hotel, in Feb- 
ruary, 1837 ; they are open from 10 to 3, and on Satur- 
day, till 6. The Savings Bank, was established June 
29, 1818, in a temporary office, in Foregate-street ; it is 
now on the S. side of Nicholas-street, about midway 
between the Cross and Lowesmoor. The number of 
depositors, the amount of deposits, &c, on the 20th of 
November, 1839, will be found in our list of Bankers 
in the Directory, the accounts not being all audited till 
the middle of December. This bank is open for re- 
ceiving and paying deposits every Monday, from 10 to 
2, and probably prevents more want than the house of 
Industry. See also the list of Bankers in the Directory. 



32 bentley's history of 

55. Baths, vapour and sulphur, are situated in 
Henwick Road, St. John's, but it is matter of surprise 
such a vast population should he still destitute of public 
baths, where the healthful luxury of a tepid or cold 
water lavation might be enjoyed, at a cheap rate, on all 
occasions. 

56. Berkeley's Hospital, is situated in the Fore- 
gate, opposite the Hop-market, and was founded by Rob- 
ert Berkeley, Esq., in 1694, who left £6,000. for its erec- 
tion and endowment. It now supports 14 poor men, and 
one woman, (not eligible till 60 years of age) each re- 
ceiving from four to five shillings per Aveek, and the Chap- 
lain and Steward £40. a year. On entering through the 
gate from Foregate, the hospital forms an oblong range 
of low brick buildings with the chapel (see 26) at the 
W. end, and bears the appearance of neatness, comfort, 
and seclusion. 

57. Bible Society, (Auxiliary) established in 1813; 
its annual meetings are held in the Town-hall. De- 
positary is at Mr. Daniell's, 63, High-street, and the 
amount of subscription is £509. lis. 5id. for 1839. 

58. Bridge, at the bottom of Bridge St., is a strong du- 
rable stone structure of five arches, 270 feet in length, the 
span of the middle arch being 41 feet. This bridge was 
opened in 1780 ; Mr. Gwynn was the Architect, and it 
cost £30,000 ; principally repayed by tolls on all pas- 
sengers, carriages, &c. ; the debt being reduced to 
£5,000., the toll on foot-passengers ceased on July 2nd, 
1809, and the whole sum being liquidated, the bridge 
became entirely free on January 1 st, 1 828. The carriage 
way is 17 feet wide, with a flagged footpath on each side, 
four feet broad ; the battlements are highly ornamental, 
and its appearance from the bottom of Broad-street, ter- 
minated on the opposite bank by two round gate-houses, 
and having the respectable suburbs of St. Clement's 
and St. John's as a back-ground, is very good. H. C. 
Boulton, and J. Walsh, Esqrs., who were Members of 
Parliament for the city, contributed £3,000. towards the 
funds for this noble structure. The vast increase of traf- 
fic in our own times, makes a widening of the bridge de- 
sirable, and it is expected some means will be taken ere 
long, to effect such an improvement. The old bridge 



WORCESTER. WORCESTERSHIRE. 33 

crossed the river, a little higher than the present one, 
almost in a line with Newport-street, but it was very nar- 
row and insecure, having been built in 1313. 

59. Canal, Worcester and Birmingham, begun in 
1791, and opened in 1815 ; it is about 30 miles in length, 
passes within a little more than a mile of Droitwich, 
and two miles of Bromsgrove ; at King's Norton the Bir- 
mingham and Stratford Canal branches off eastward, and 
about 2i miles nearer Birmingham, a branch passes 
westward to Dudley, Stourbridge, &c. At Birmingham 
it is connected with the inland navigation to all the great 
manufacturing towns in the N. of England, for which see 
list of Water Conveyance ; this canal opens a cheap 
communication between all those places and this city, and 
by means of the Severn, with most places of importance in 
the W. of England and in S. Wales, for which see list as 
before ; affording a cheap, safe, transit for raw produce 
and manufactured articles, to all parts of the kingdom, 
and has undoubtedly contributed much to the prosper- 
ity of this city. There are extensive wharfs and ware- 
houses at the basin, in Lowesmoor, and also at the basin 
in Diglis, near the Severn, all laid down on the accom- 
panying plan of the city and borough. 

60. Chamber op Commerce, established on the 7th 
May, 1839, for protecting and promoting the Commer- 
cial, Trading, and Manufacturing interests of Worcester ; 
the Board of Directors meet the first Tuesday in each 
month ; the annual general meeting is the third Tues- 
day in July, and Mr. J. Tymbs is Secretary. It is a 
matter of surprise this city should have been so long with- 
out such an Institution, and this perhaps in some mea- 
sure, accounts for the little progress that has been made 
in improving the Navigation of the Severn, for this city 
being almost left out of the line of Railway communica- 
tions, &c, (see Railway.) 

61. Christian Knowledge Society. A branch 
was established here in 1816, its depot is at No. 10, Fore- 
gate, near St. Nicholas' church ; since its establishment, 
it has distributed 667,430 books, tracts, &c, during the 
year ending Michaelmas 1839 5 it distributed 63,965, and 
its amount of subscription was £62 ; the Rev A. Wheeler, 
B.A., is secretary and treasurer. 



34 BENTLEY'S HI8T0RY OF 

62. City Commissioners, for the better supplying 
the city with Severn water, and lighting it with gas, and 
for draining, paving, widening, and otherwise improving 
the streets, hold their meetings in the G uildhall once 
a month, by adjournment. They have now nearly com- 
pleted a main sewer, extending from near the canal 
basin, in Lowesmoor, passing under George-street, the 
Blockhouse, Sidbury, &c, to the river at Diglis, at a 
depth of from 8 to 16 feet below the surface ; its length 
is 1,618 J yards, the cost is £2,700. Similar mains are 
intended to be made under High, Broad, and other 
principal streets of the city, which, till now, were des- 
titute of sewers, and these must add much to the com- 
fort and convenience of the citizens. 

63. City Gaol is in Friar-street and Union-street, 
was commenced in 1822, and the prisoners were removed 
into it in July 1824, having cost the city £12,578. 12s. 
lid. It is built on the improved principle, has a tread- 
mill, is considered orderly, clean, and secure, and gener- 
ally contains about 30 persons, who have not yet learned 
that honesty, and propriety of conduct, is the best pol- 
icy. A particular account of this prison, and its prison- 
ers, will be given in the seventh volume. 

64. Clothing and Carpet Manufactory. In the 
sixteenth century, this city was the seat of extensive 
woollen cloth manufactories ; Lelemd writing about 1-340, 
says, "The wealthe of the towne of Worcester standeth 
most by drapering ; and no towne of England at this pres- 
ent tyme maketh so many cloathes yearly as this towne 
doth." This trade is said at one time to have given 
employment to 14,000 or 15,000 persons, in and 
around the city; but, from variously stated causes, 
the produce of the Worcester loom was supplanted in 
the market by the produce of those in the W. of Eng- 
land, as the latter is now being superseded by that pro- 
duced in Yorkshire. A Carpet manufactory afterwards 
existed for some time, but was removed to Kidderminster. 

65. Commandry, said to have been founded by bishop 
Wulstan, or St. Wulstan, is situated between the canal 
and Commandry-street, formerly Wyldes-lane, in Sid- 
bury ; and is a very ancient erection ; it was endowed 
with considerable possessions, and was a monastery and 



-WORCESTER. WORCESTERSHIRE. 35 

hospital for the sick, seized by Henry the VIII., and 
sold to Thomas Wylde, clothier, of this city, in 1545, for 
£498. 

66. Corporation. Worcester was made a free cor- 
porate town, by a charter granted in 1261, by Henry III., 
which divided it into seven wards, viz. All Saint's, St. 
Andrew's, St. Clement's, St Helen's, St. Martin's, St. 
Nicholas', and St. Peter's ; each ward under two con- 
stables, and the government of the town was placed in 
the hands of two bailiffs, chosen from 24 common coun- 
cil-men ; two aldermen, two chamberlains, with 48 assist- 
ants. On the 2nd of October, 1621, James I. constituted 
it a city and county of itself, governed by a Mayor, six 
aldermen, a sheriff, two chamberlains, 24 councillors, and 
48 common council-men. This charter received several 
additions and alterations, and was finally substituted by 
the general Act for the reform of all corporations in Eng- 
land and Wales, passed in 1835; by which the city is 
now divided into five wards and is governed by a Mayor, 
12 Aldermen, and 36 Councillors. 

67. Thomas Chalk, Esq. is the present Mayor ; G. 
Allies, H. Chamberlain, W. Corles, E. Evans, R. Evans, 
J. Hall, C. Hastings, C. H. Hebb, J. Lilly, R. Pad- 
more, and J. Palmer Esqrs., are Aldermen ; Messrs. F.

property ; — and J. Orchard, Chief Constable. 

68. Courts. The principal courts held here are, 
the Assize, twice a year ; the commissions for the city 
are opened in the Guildhall, and then adjourned to the 
Shire Hall, where the county commissions are opened, 
and the Assizes commence. — The County General Quar- 
ter Sessions, also held four times a year, J. S. Pakington, 
Esq., M.P. is chairman. — City Quarter Sessions, held 
in the Guildhall before the Recorder, J. Buckle, Esq. — 
Court of Pleas, held in the same place every Monday,

H.Weston, B.A. is junior Surrogate; Frederic Hamil- 
ton Cornewall, Esq. Deputy Registrar; and J. H. 
Clifton and H. Clifton, Esqrs. Proctors. 

69. County Gaol. This extensive receptacle for 
that unfortunate portion of society whose acquisitive- 
ness is stronger than their honesty, or whose combative- 
ness has not been sufficiently subdued by cultivating in 
respect to the rights of others, is situated in Salt-lane, 
which leads down from the end of Foregate-street to the 
Race-ground. It was built in 1809, cost £19,000., and 
contained 90 cells; the population of the county being 
then about 160,000. In 1839, the population being 
235,000, (having increased nearly one-half) it was found 
that crime had also increased, so much as to render an 
addition to the gaol necessary, and 80 cells were added 
at an expense of £2,600., including other improvements ; 
and in 1840, other changes are to be effected, at an ex- 
pense of £2,400., all under the superintendance of Mr. 
Eginton, architect. During the Chartist agitation of the 
summer, 1839, this gaol was excessively crowded, hav- 
ing at one time not less than 220 prisoners confined in 
it ; this will be more particularly noticed in the second, 
or Dudley volume, that being the town most disturbed 
in the county, during that unsettled period. 

70. Dispensary, established in 1822. It is situated at 
the bottom of Bank-street, and annually supplies the 
medical wants of many indigent poor persons, by a 
sum of money arising from subscriptions, donations, 
and legacies. The present Physicians are Drs. Hastings 
and Streeten ; Surgeons, Messrs. H. Davis, J. Greening, 
and W. Jones ; and the Dispensary is open from to 
daily, and from 9 to 10 every Monday and Thursday, 
for the purpose of vaccinating all applicants; but the 
humbler classes here do not appear fully to appreciate the 
value of this wonderful discovery of the immortal Jenner, 
as many of them carry visible signs of that once pestilen- 
tial disease, the small-pox. 

71. Distilleries. Early in the last century the 
extensive premises at the corner of Turkey-street., partly 
fronting, and being on the W. side of the Severn, were 
commenced for the production of spirits, by the grand- 
father of the present proprietor, Mr. F. E.Williams-; on 

D 



38 bentley's history of 

the opposite bank of the river in North Parade, is the 
large rectifying, and british wine manufacturing estab- 
lishment of Mr. J. Williams ; and in Foregate- 
street, opposite the Star and Garter, and in Factory 
Walk, Lowesmoor, are the extensive concerns of Messrs. 
Hill, Evans, and Williams, British Wine and Vinegar 
Manufacturers. 

72. Dorcas Society, for providing articles of cloth- 
ing for the poor, was established in 1819, and the ladies 
of the committee hold monthly meetings at each others 
houses for promoting the object of the charity. During 
the last year, 369 individuals received benefit from the 
institution, at an expense of £63. Os. 5d. A second 
society of this kind has been lately established, called the 
Church Dorcas Society, having the same objects and 
system of management ; the two societies appear to strive 
which can do most good. 

73. Female Asylum, founded in 1825, the present 
edifice was built in 1830, and is situated on a delightful 
eminence, called Merryman's-hill ; the chaplain is the 
Rev. John Davies, M.A. ; Drs. Hastings and Streeten are 
the present physicians, and Mr. H. W. Budd, is the sur- 
geon ; the number of inmates is 15 ; and the Secretary 
is Mrs. H. B. Tymbs. The house will contain twice its 
present number of inmates, if the funds would allow their 
admission. At a bazaar for the sale of clothing, held in 
the hall of the Natural History Society, on November 
29th, 1H39, £48. 10d.5d. net cash was received, besides 
paying for the materials, &c. 

74. Friendly Institution, Worcestershire, was 
established in 1826, for securing to its members sup- 
port in sickness, infancy, and old age, the payment of 
money on death, and effecting assurance of young per- 
sons, and annuities ; the present number of members is 
430, divided into numerous classes, according to the 
circumstances of each. The society possess about £3,000. 
in the funds, which is rapidly increasing, as well as the 
number of members ; and no Institution is better calcu- 
lated, effectually to protect the humble classes from un- 
foreseen casualties, than this. Mr. Hollowav, Secretary, 
attends at the office, College-street, the first Monday in 
each month, for receiving the contributions, &c, and 



■WORCESTER. WORCESTERSHIRE. 39 

gladly affords every information at all times, at his house 
Copenhagen-street. 

75. Hair-cloth Manufactory, situated on the right 
hand going down Copenhagen-street, is a new branch 
of business, very successfully conducted by Mr. E. 
Webb ; who produces some splendid and peculiar spe- 
cimens of hair-cloth, both flowered and striped ; the 
finest part of the cloth is woven with long hair from the 
heads of ladies, and is used both for waistcoat pieces, and 
for covering button moulds, &c. ; it gives employment 
to many families in the city. 

Fairs, see Markets and Fairs. 

76. Gas Works, situated on the east side of the canal, 
at the top of Lowesmoor, were established by a Company 
in 1818, in 750 shares, at £20. each ; but this invisible 
fluid, which can be conveyed in all directions, and kindled 
into a brilliant flame at any moment, appears not to have 
been popular here at first; for the shareholders were 
nearly seven years, before they realized any dividend on 
their laudable investment. The affairs of the company 
are now prosperous, and well-managed, and this useful ele- 
ment is now used in most places of worship, all the streets, 
squares, &c, the principal shops, inns, and public build- 
ings, and in many private dwellings ; and the city pre- 
sents a very different appearance on a winter's evening 
now, to what it did 20 years ago ; the faint glimmering 
candle, and the dull flickering lamp, having now given 
place to the vivid jet of gas. Mr. W. Hill, is the manager 
of the works. 

77. Glove Manufacturing, has been a considerable 
branch of business here, since the commencement of the 
sixteenth century ; the Glover's company having been 
incorporated by Henry the VIII. There are now many 
highly respectable houses engaged in the manufacture of 
this useful article, and in preparing the leather ; and 
though the trade is perhaps not so animated as at former 
periods, an immense quantity of goods are produced ; 
and a list of all the manufacturers will be found under the 
proper head, in our classification of Trades. The gloves 
are cut out in the warehouse, chiefly by punches, and then 
sent out in dozens to be sewed. 

78. Goulding's Hospital, founded by Robert 



40 bentley's history of 

Goulding, of the Tything, Worcester, (who died July 
25, 1821,) in 1814, is for three poor men, and three 
poor women, to be, at least 55 years of age ; and one 
man and woman always to be preferred of the Tything. 
The houses are near St. Oswald's Hospital, and the in- 
mates receive six shillings per week, and fifteen shillings 
each quarter for coals, &c. 

79. Guild, or Town-hall, situated near the middle, 
and on the W. side of High-street, is an elegant and 
substantial brick structure, especially when we reflect 
that it has stood 117 years, having been erected in 1721 
— 2 and 3, at an expense of £3,727. 8s. 7£d., raised by 
subscription; £1,000. was afterwards expended by the 
corporation, in altering and completing the large ball- 
room, which is 1081 feet long, 26 feet broad, and 15 ft. 
7 inches high; and was re-painted, and other repairs 
were made to this noble building, in 1839. This splen- 
did civic structure, contains an entrance-hall, the size of 
the ball room, the crown, and nisi prius courts, ma- 
gistrates, grand jury, committee, and other rooms ; which 
are ornamented with pictures of Queen Anne, George 
III., and several noblemen and commoners ; and in the 
entrance-hall are two brass cannon, one left by Charles, 
afterwards Charles the II., at the fatal battle of Worcester, 
and the other brought by British seamen, from near 
Toulon ; both bearing inscriptions, giving particulars of 
their presentation to the corporation ; and several suits 
of ancient armour. When viewed from the opposite side 
of the street, this building has an imposing appearance, 
receding from the front of the street 24 feet, having on 
the left hand of the door a statue of Charles I., on the 
right, one of Charles II. ; over the door is one of Queen 
Anne, above are the imperial arms of England, and Roman 
trophy's ; and the building is surmounted with four vases, 
and five colossial statues, representing Justice, Peace, 
Plenty, Chastisement, and Labour. Over the door-way, 
are the city arms, with the inscription, in latin, " May 
the faithful city ever flourish." 

80. Hop Trade. This tender plant forms an impor- 
tant item in the trade of this city, 20, or 30,000 pockets 
being frequently sold here in a season, produced in this 
and the neighbouring county of Hereford ; about 1,800 



WORCESTER. WORCESTERSHIRE. 41 

acres are cultivated in the Worcester excise collection ; 
the duty is payable on the 15th of May, and the 15th of 
November : it was £4,853. 5s. lOd. in 1839, at two-pence 
per lb. The Hop-market forms an extensive quad- 
rangle, surrounded on two sides with offices, having ware- 
houses over them, and on the side next Sansom-street en- 
tirely with warehouses, and the weighing house ; and the 
last named street, contains many extensive warehouses ; 
the whole forming a busy scene on market days, especially 
during the season. The ranges of buildings forming the 
market, were originally built in the beginning of the last 
century, as a general workhouse for the poor, but were 
applied to the present purpose, on the erection of the 

81. House of Industry, in 1793 and 4, on 
Tallow Hill, in a fine healthy situation, which cost 
£9,591. lis. Id. This noble building is the workhouse 
for the eight united parishes of All Saints', St. Alban's, 
St. Andrew's, St. Clement's, St. Helen's, St. Martin's, 
St. Nicholas', and St. Swithin's, and is under the 
management of 22 elected, and 9 ex-officio Guardians ; 
George Thompson is Governor, William Thomason is 
clerk, and registrar-general for the Union ; and the Rev. 
John Adlington, is Chaplain. The house will accom- 
modate 550 inmates, the present number is 195. 

82. Horticultural Society, established in 1828 ; 
holds five annual meetings, usually in the Guild-hall, for 
the exhibition of flowers, fruit, and vegetables ; and award- 
ing prizes for the best specimens ; the times of meeting, 
are about the third week in April, May, June, July, and 
September; 330 subscribers patronized this laudable 
institution the present year. 

83. Humane Society, established in 1786, under the 
name of the Severn Humane Society, and revived in 1819, 
and called the Worcesteshire Humane Society ; its 
object is to recover persons apparently dead, from drown- 
ing, or other causes ; and to reward those who are instru- 
mental in their recovery ; suitable apparatus is provided, 
and kept in readiness at various points on the river, and 
the canal, for aiding in such recovery. 

84. Infirmary ; one of the most prominent and best 
supported Institutions in the borough, is situated on the S. 
side of Salt-lane, opposite the County Gaol, (see 69) and 



42 bentley's history of 

overlooking the Race-ground. This Institution was origi- 
nally founded in 1774, and conducted in a large range 
of building, now occupied as a gentlemens' boarding 
school, on the E. side of Silver-street. This building 
being small, and the situation confined, the present edifice 
was completed in 1770, and cost £6,085. 9s. 9d., contri- 
buted by voluntary subscribers ; and the institution now 
possesses above £18,000. in funded property, its income 
the last year, was £2,451. 16s. 6d., and its expenditure, 
£2,445. 19s. 3d., having had under its care, 2,386 pa- 
tients during that year, and 103,034, since its foundation 
95 years ago, Its treasurers, are Messrs. Berwick, and 
Co., bankers; physicians, Drs. J. Maiden, C. Hastings, 
and J. Nash ; surgeons, Messrs. J. P. Sheppard, M. 
Pierpoint, and H. Carden ; Chaplain, Rev, J. Adlington ; 
Secretary, Mr. J. H. Wheeler; House Surgeon and 
Apothecary, Mr. H. Cole; and Matron, Mrs. L. Pack- 
wood. The total number vaccinated during the last 95 
years, is only 9,485. (see remarks sec. 70.) 

85. Inglethorpe's Hospital is situated in Taylor's- 
lane between Foregate-street and Sansom-walk, and is 
supposed to have been founded about the end of the six- 
teenth century, by Richard Inglethorpe ; since which time 
additions have been made to it by Alderman Nash, and 
Charles Geary ; and it now includes 13 houses ; 9 of the 
inmates receive 3s. 6d. per week each, under Mr. Ingle- 
thorpe's bequeast ; 2 receive 5s. per week, and half a ton of 
coals, a pair of shoes, and 15s. per annum, under Nash's 
bequeast ; and two receive 3s. per week, and half a ton 
of coals yearly, from funds left by Mr. Geary. 

86. Inns & Hotels are of the first order, respectability, 
and convenience, in Worcester, and they are commensur- 
ate with the commercial importance of the city ; the Hop- 
pole, and the Star and Garter, on the W. side of Fore- 
gate-street, near Foregate, and the Crown, Bell, and Uni- 
corn, in Broad-street, are equal to any on the road, (the 
three first and the last have coach -offices attached) 
all the other houses given in our list of Inns and Hotels, 
are of considerable extent, and several of those given 
under the head of Taverns, &c„ possess many 
comforts and advantages, for the commercial part of the 
community. 



WORCESTER. WORCESTERSHIRE. 43 

87. Jarvis' Houses, situated at Warmstry Slip, near 
the Royal Porcelain Works, are for three poor freemen, 
and a poor freeman's widow, all above 50 years of age, 
who receive 5s. per week ; besides 4 out pensioners, who 
receive a like sum, but have no house. 

88. Lace Manufacturing does not appear to pros- 
per very well here, though some very good articles are 
still produced. 

89. Libraries. Worcester city, is the principal pub- 
lic library, instituted in 1790, and now containing above 
9,000 volumes of general literature, and the sciences. 
The present building at the Sansom-walk, end of 
Pierpoint-street, is a handsome, and very appropriate 
structure, erected at an expense of £1,050, by share-hold- 
ers of £10. each, in 1831; and is ornamented in front 
with four fluted pilasters, supporting an entablature, and 
pediment. The library is in the upper story, is 30 feet 
square, lighted by a doom lantern, and is open from 1 1 
to 4, except Thursday, when it closes at 3. The lower 
room is occupied by the Worcester News-room, sec. 99. 
Nearly opposite this Institution, and in the same street, 
is the Worcester city and county Library and Reading 
Institution, established in 1836, "for the propogation 
of sound literary, scientific, and political information." 
The present building was erected in 1839, by a company 
of shareholders in £1. shares; and contains a Lecture- 
hall 61 feet 4 inches by 30 feet wide, and 22i feet high, 
besides the library and news-room ; there are 12 life, 86 
honorary, (at £1. Is. per annum) and 560 general Mem- 
bers, (at 4s. per annum) and the privileges of the Institu- 
tion include the library, (nearly 1000 volumes) news- 
room, and occasional lectures. — Athenaeum Library (sec. 
53.) College Library, (sec. 20) Besides these, there are 
several other excellent libraries, the address, &c, of which 
will be found in the proper list. 

90. Lying-in Charity, founded in 1806; managed 
by a committee of ladies, and supported by donations, 
and voluntary subscriptions, which are applied for the re- 
lief of poor women, who are unable to provide them- 
selves with necessary articles and comforts, under such 
perilous circumstances ; since its foundation, this society 
has afforded relief to 18,938 poor women. Miss M. A. 
Caswell, Pheasant-street, is storekeeper. 



44 bentley's history of 

91. Markets and Fairs The Market is opposite 
the Guildhall, and is approached from High-street, by 
a large square entrance, or by one of two smaller arched 
ones, which form a beautiful stone front, being surmounted 
by an ornamented and panelled square pediment, sup- 
ported by handsome Tuscan columns. The interior is 
conveniently arranged, and generally presents a very 
bustling appearance, and though it is 223 feet long, and 
proportionally wide, it appears rather too small for such 
a large wealthy city. At the further end from High- 
street are the Shambles ; and in a line with the Market- 
house, on the opposite side, is the Garden Market, 
covered over in 1838 ; these are open daily, but Wednes 
day, Friday, and Saturday, especially the last, are the 
market days. — The Corn Market is a large and nearly 
square area, at the termination of Mealcheapen, New, 
Silver, and Queen-streets ; and presents a very busy 
scene every Saturday afternoon ; but there is little pro- 
tection from the weather, which is very desirable in our 
wet climate. The average value of produce sold in this 
market weekly, is from £2,000 to £5,000, disposed of 
by sample. — Cattle Market, situated at the bottom of 
the Butts, was erected under an Act of Parliament, ob- 
tained in 1836, by the Corporation. It cost £8,700, 
raised on security of the tolls, and when that sum is re- 
paid the market will be toll-free. This market covers 
an area of very near four acres ; its form will best be seen 
by a reference to our plan of the borough. The Horse 
Market is nearest the river, with an extensive ride ; the 
Cattle Market is next, with covered stalls for fat cattle ; 
and then are two large areas, with iron-framed pens, one 
capable of containing 7,500 sheep, and the other 1,000 
pigs; near the centre is the Market House, an octagonal 
building, well suited for the purpose ; and the whole 
was completed, and opened to the public, on the 8th of 
Sept. 1838, and is used both for the weekly Cattle Mar- 
ket on Saturdays, and for the following Fairs, viz. 3rd 
Monday in January ; 3rd Monday in February and 
March; 2d Monday in April; 1st Monday in May. 
June, and July ; 1 st Tuesday in August ; 19th September; 
the 1st Monday in November ; and the second Friday in 
December. Mr. I. Pemberton is Clerk to the Market. — 
An extensive business is done in the fruit season, at the 






WORCESTER. WORCESTERSHIRE. 45 

Fruit Market, held on the Upper or North Quay, on 
Wednesday and Saturday mornings. — Hop Market, 
Sec. 80. 

92. Members of Parliament. This was among 
the first boroughs that sent representatives to Parliament, 
having returned Richard de la Bar, and Walter de Cul- 
verton to the first Parliament ever held which included 
members from cities and towns ; this took place in 1295, 
and since 1693, Worcester has returned two members 
without interruption. At the last general election, in 
1837, Col. Thomas Henry Hastings Davies, of Elmly 
Castle, and Joseph Bailey, Esq. of Glan Usk Park, 
Brecon, were returned without opposition, under the 
first writs issued by our present most gracious Queen ; 
George Richard Robinson, Esq. formerly returned with 
Mr. Bailey, having declined the contest, at the close of 
his speech on the nomination day, to the astonishment 
of all his friends. The number of electors is about 
2,900, and in our alphabetic directory, each elector's 
name is known by its commencing with an italic capital 
letter. 

93. Mendicity Society, established in 1831, since 
which it had afforded relief to 18,279 persons, on the 
30th of January, 1839, of which number only 2,429 were 
able to write, many of them very imperfectly, and 
3,138 able to read. The annual expense is about £150 ; 
the office is in Friar's Alley, Broad-street ; and the ob- 
ject of the society is to provide food and temporary 
shelter for the houseless and wandering poor, and thereby 
prevent all necessity for begging. Mr. Condie is the 
superintendent. 

94. Moore's Hospital is situated on the E. side 
of Silver-street, and was founded about 1650, for ten 
poor boys, from four to 12 years old, of St. Martin's 
parish; the children are taught in Queen Elizabeth's 
School, near St. Swithin's Church, and live with the 
governor, at the hospital. In consequence of the per- 
version of the funds, there are at present only 6 boys, 
but as the leases of the property are about falling in, the 
full number will be placed on the foundation ; the boys 
wear a uniform dress of blue. 

95. Music Meetings of the three choirs of Wor- 



46 bentley's history of 

cester, Hereford, and Gloucester, originated here in 
1720, and their first meeting was held in August, 1722, 
in the Cathedral. George III. attended the meeting 
held here in 1788 ; these festivals have been uniformly 
popular, conducted on the most magnificent plan, and 
held alternately here, at Hereford, and Gloucester. The 
last meeting took place in the Cathedral, in September, 
1839, and was conducted on such a splendid scale, that the 
expenditure considerably exceeded the receipts. The 
sum taken at the doors, which is entirely devoted to 
charitable purposes, was £952. 3s. 6d. ; being the largest 
sum received at any meeting since 1833, when it was 
£1,008. This sum is divided equally between the three 
choirs ; the portion awarded to Worcester is placed at the 
disposal of stewards, and, along with other considerable 
subscriptions, distributed among the Widows and 
Orphans of Clergymen in the diocese of Worcester, 
amounting in the whole to above £800 in 1839. 

96. Nash's Hospital, situated about the middle, 
and leading off on the E. side of New-street, was foun- 
ded in 1664, for eight poor men, and two women ; and 
in 1809 five more houses were added for five poor 
women ; and the allowance to each is 5s. per week, half 
a ton of coals, one pair of shoes, and 15s. in clothes every 
year. Two houses under this charity have also been 
erected near Inglethorpe's Hospital, Sec. 85 ; in 1828 
three more were built in the Butts, near the Cattle 
Market; and six additional ones in 1835, at the same 
place. 

97. Natural History Society, founded in 1833, 
for the diffusion of general knowledge, especially the 
professed objects of the institution. This noble edifice 
is situated on the W. side of Foregate-street, erected in 
1835 & 6, and cost £5,000. The front is a fine specimen 
of modern architecture, both in design and execution ; 
and consists of a rustic basement, the entrance supported 
by two portal columns ; above are two stories, the three 
windows in each story ornamented by four beautiful 
Corinthian pilasters, supporting a corresponding entab- 
lature and pediment. On each side the door is an 
elegant shop, and in the entrance-hall is a stone stair- 
case, leading up to the Museum, which is the richest in 



WORCESTER. WORCESTERSHIRE. 47 

the county ; also to the library, secretary, and anti- 
quarian rooms. The Lecture Hall is on the ground 
floor, 60 feet long, 30 wide, and 20 high ; the walls are 
decorated with pilasters, the ceiling is finished to corres- 
pond, and the room will seat about 500 persons. The 
Museum is the same size, is very rich in some de- 
partments, and is open daily from eleven till four ; and 
belongs to 25 proprietory members, paying £5 per an- 
num for 10 years. The number of members is about 
350, paying I Guinea per annum, and upwards, whose 
privileges consist in viewing the museum, attending lec- 
tures, converzationes, the library, &c. Mr. G. Reece is 
Sub-Secretary and keeper of the Museum ; and J. Evans, 
Esq. is Hon. Secretary and Treasurer. 

98. Newspapers. Few places are better supplied 
with these essentials of civilization in the kingdom, and 
Worcester was undoubtedly one of the first provincial 
cities that adopted this now universal vehicle for couvey- 
ing necessary and useful information. A printing press 
was established here so early as 1548, about 112 years 
after that divine art was first discovered by John Gotten- 
berg, at Mentz. Several volumes are still extant, which 
issued from this press between 1548 and 1553. About 
1690 an occasional issue of a sheet of news appeared ; but 
in 1707 they became more frequent, and in June, 1709, 
regular, in the form of a small three-leaved folio, printed 
by Stephen Bryan, published every Friday, and called 
" The Worcester Postman." At present four papers 
issue from the Worcester press weekly. — Chronicle, 
was establishedby a Joint Stock Company, its first num- 
ber appeared the first Wednesday in January, 1838, and 
is published at two o'clock every Wednesday, at the of- 
fice, on the right hand side of Copenhagen-street, by Mr, 
I. Arrowsmith, for the proprietors ; and is a very liberal, 
spirited, and well conducted Journal. — Guardian, was 
first published on the 20th of December, 1835, and is 
now published every Friday evening about 8 o'clock, 
dated Saturday, at the office on the left hand of the 
Trinity, near the Cross, by Mr. G. Hyde, the proprietor, 
and is conducted on ultra tory principles. — Herald, es- 
tablished by Thomas Holl and Co., Saturday, January 4, 
1794, is published every Friday evening, about eight 



48 bentley's history of 

o'clock, dated Saturday, by the proprietors. Messrs. 
Chalk and Holl, at the office, 72, High-street ; and is a 
very well conducted, extensively patronized, and in po- 
litical matters neutral paper. Journal, the ori- 
ginal Worcester newspaper, was called the Worcester 
Postman till 1741, the Worcester Weekly Journal till 
1748, the Worcester Journal till 1754, when it assumed 
its present title, Berrow's Worcester Journal ; and is 
now published at the office, Church-street, or at 53, 
High-street, every Wednesday evening, about eight 
o'clock, dated Thursday, by the proprietress, Mrs. A. 
Deighton ; it is consistently conducted on tory princi- 
ples, and is an extensively patronized medium of useful 
information. 

99. News Rooms. The principal public News- 
rooms are the one situated in Pierpoint-street, in the 
same building as the Worcester Library ( See. 89) and 
belongs to Mrs. A. Deighton ; one belonging to Mr. 
T. Stratford, situated in neat well-lighted room, be- 
hind the shop, at No. 5, Cross ; and the one connected 
with the city and county library ; the two first are very 
well supplied with London and provincial papers ; have 
a numerous and respectable subscription list, and are 
open from 8 in the morning till 8 at night ; the last is 
open in the evening. (See. 90) 

100. Police Office, situatedat theLowesmoor corner 
of Nicholas-street, was formerly at the City Gaol, but 
removed herein 1838 ; it contains many airy and secure 
cells, and a large guard or watch room, where there is an 
officer always in waiting to receive charges, &c. Con- 
nected with this necessary establishment there are 20 of- 
ficers, including the inspector and Serjeant ; they protect 
the lives and property of the inhabitants of the town 
both day and night ; and it speaks much for their vigi- 
lence, that there has been only one burglary completely 
effected in the city, during the last eight years ; and the 
perpetrators of that were discovered and punished. 

101. Porcelain Manufactories. Worcester ex- 
cels all other places in the beauty, texture, and strength of 
its porcelain, and equals most other places in style and 
design. The first manufactory was begun by Dr. Wall, 
Mr. Davis, and other gentlemen in 1751, under the name 



WORCESTER. WORCESTERSHIRE. 49 

of the " Worcester Porcelain Company ;" to whom is 
ascribed the merit of discovering the ingenious method of 
transferring any drawing from a copper-plate to the ware 
by means of tissue paper, now in general use in all manufac- 
tories of this kind, and lately applied to stain glass, by the 
ingenious Messrs. Cooper, of Edinburgh. The works were 
established in Palace-row, at the bottom of Fish-street, 
extending down to the river, occupying what was formerly 
the mansion and gardens of the second Lord Windsor, 
in the reign of Henry VII. and Henry VIII ; the house 
forms a quadrangle, with a court in the centre, and several 
rooms have retained the ancient oak wainscotings, carved 
armorial bearings, &c. of its former possessors, amid the 
bustle and activity that has reigned here during the last 
88 years. In 1783 these works became the property, by 
purchase, of T. Flight, Esq., of Hackney, Middlesex; 
they were honoured with a visit by George III. and his 
Queen and daughters in 1788; and since that period 
they have been called the Royal Porcelain Works. They 
are now conducted by Messrs. Flight, Barr, and Barr, 
the proprietors, and still maintain the superior quality and 
style of their beautiful ware. The show-rooms are at 
45, High-street, Worcester, and 1, Coventry-street, 
London. — In 1786 Messrs. Chamberlain established an 
extensive manufactory of porcelain in Diglis, behind St. 
Peter's Church ; their show-rooms are at 59, High-street, 
near the Cross, which were honoured with a visit by the 
Prince Regent, afterwards George IV. in 1808. This 
Company have a repository at 155, New Bond-street, 
London. — Messrs. Grainger and Company also estab- 
lished a third manufactory for this beautiful article, in 
1807, it is situated in Factory Walk, Lowesmoor ; their 
show-rooms are in the Foregate, opposite the Hop 
Market ; and this branch of the Manufactures of 
Worcester still maintains its hold of public esteem, is 
continually extending its connection, and receiving 
additional patronage. The show-rooms are open daily, 
and cards of admission to any of the manufactories may 
be obtained at their several repositories. 

102. Post Office, situated on the W. side of 
Foregate-street, opposite Pierpoint-street, was formerly 
a large dwelling house ; but it is doubtful whether it 

E 



50 bentley's history of 

will be capacious enough for the vastly increased corres- 
pondence of this populous city, when the whole of it 
goes through this one channel, after the penny postage 
comes into full operation. For the despatch and arrival 
of letters see our Post Office Table, preceding the 
directory, in which will be found an alphabetical list of 
about 70 places, with the time when letters are des- 
patched to, and arrive here from those places, arranged 
on an entirely new principle. 

103. Queen Elizabeth's Charity endowed by 
her for 29 poor women, who receive 12s. a month, and 
half a ton of coals, and 5s. every St. Thomas's Day; is 
situated in the Trinity, near the Water-works reservoir. 

104. Races are held annually, in August and 
November, on the Race ground, situated on the E. bank 
of the river ; the first generally occupy three days, and 
are much frequented by fashionable company ; the second 
seldom extends above one day. The Grand stand is 
neat and commodious, situated on the bank of the river, 
but the course is much better situated for growing hay 
grass, being a level and extremely fertile meadow ; and 
in wet weather is very soft. 

105. Railways. The Birmingham and Gloucester 
passes full 3| miles to the E. of the city ; which is thus, 
to a great extent deprived of the advantages and con- 
veniences this modern, cheap, quick, comfortable, and 
humane mode of travelling confers on all towns within 
its reach. Had the line passed near the city, and there 
is no engineering difficulty whatever in the way, the 
citizens would have been saved an hour, at least, every 
journey they make either N. or S. more than they 
will be when this line is opened ; which event is expected 
next March, as far as Bromsgrove, and in the autumn 
through to Birmingham ; and this city will then be 
brought within less than eight hours of London, within 
6£ hours of Manchester and Liverpool, and two of 
Birmingham. The Birmingham and Gloucester Railway 
Company propose making a branch to Worcester, to 
commence on the E. side of the town, at Tallow hill, as 
laid down on our plan of the city, but nothing is positively 
determined on this subject, as the Grand Connexion 
Railway Company propose applying to Parliament again 



WORCESTER. WORCESTERSHIRE. 51 

when a favourable chance offers, to obtain its sanction 
to their Bill (rejected on the third reading in the Com- 
mons during the session for 1838) for making a Railway 
from Abbott's-wood, a point on the B. and G. line four 
miles S. of Worcester, to the Grand Junction Railway 
at Wolverhampton ; passing through this city, Kidder- 
minster, Stourbridge, &c. ; which would diminish the 
journey between those places, Manchester, Liverpool, 
and the N.W. parts of England, and Scotland, and this 
city, Bristol, the W. of England, and S. Wales, by one 
hour. 

106. Registrars of births, deaths, and marriages. 
The Superintendent Registrar is William Thomason, 
House of Industry ; the Registrar of marriages is Sam- 
uel Daniell, 63, High-street ; the Registrar of births and 
deaths for the Northern district, including the parishes 
of St. Martin's, St Nicholas', and Whistone's is Thomas 
Henry Wheeler, Foregate-street ; for the Southern 
district, including the parishes of St. Alban's, St, 
Andrew's, St. Helen's, St. Michael's, and St. Peter's, is 
John Roberts Woodward, Sidbury-street ; and for the 
Western district, including the parishes of All-Saints', 
St. Clement's, St. John's, and St. Swithin's, Richard 
Hill, 11, Foregate-street. 

107. St. Oswald's Hospital was either founded 
by that Saint, or named after a church dedicated to 
him, but there is no record of it before the 13th century ; 
it now supports 16 men, and 12 women, who receive 6s. 
per week, li tons of coal each year, and coats or gowns 
every two years. This hospital has been much improved 
of late years especially the chapel, see 36. Much of the 
property of this charity has been long alienated, but is 
now recovered, and about to be applied to the increasing 
of the number of houses, and other purposes of the 
hospital. 

Sessions, see OS. 

108. Severn, and its navigation, exercise much 
influence on Worcester, and with a little judicious outlay 
might be made much more so. In the session of J 836, 
application was made to Parliament, for power to make 
such improvement in the river, as to always insure a 
depth of twelve feet from Gloucester to Worcester, and 



52 bentley's history of 

of six feet to Stourport, which it is estimated could be 
done for £250,000.; hut in conseqence of the jealousy 
of the people of Gloucester, who fancy this improvement 
of the river would injure them, and from other local 
opposition, the bill was lost. In 1837, a Company 
was formed, called the Severn Navigation Co., with a 
capital, of £150,000., in 10,000 shares of £15. each, for 
effecting such improvement in the river as to obtain 
a depth of 6£ feet between Gloucester and Worcester, 
and 6 feet to Stourport. In the summer of 1839, the 
corporation of Worcester, in connection with the Com- 
pany (who have spent about £20,000 in endeavouring 
to obtain their act) memorialized government on this 
subject ; wishing the improvement of the Severn, to be 
undertaken by commissioners, in the way the Shannon 
is now being improved. An answer was received in 
December, in which government declines to undertake 
the improvement, because the river does not pass through 
any property belonging to the Crown; but the desired 
improvement of the Severn is so absolutely necessary 
to the prosperity of Worcester, if it must successfully 
compete with other places, and can be so easily effected, 
that it is among those things most likely to be soon 
done. 

109. Shewring's Hospital founded by T. Shew- 
ring, Esq. about 1688, for six poor women, who now 
receive eight shillings per week. The founder of this 
hospital, when Mayor of Worcester, accompanied 
James II. to the door of the Catholic Chapel, when 
he was on a visit to the city, but refused to go any further 
saying " I fear we," meaning himself and the corporation 
"have attended your Majesty too far already." This 
Hospital is situated on the E. side of Tything-street, 
about midway between St. Oswald's Hospital, and the 

1 10. Shire hall, which is a very handsome stone edi- 
fice in the Ionic order, erected in 1835, and cost about 
£33,000. The entrance is by a noble portico, standing 
near 100 feet back from the street, the fine pediment 
being supported by 6 symetrical columns in front. The 
County Hall is approached through a large vestibule, 
and is 90 feet by 40, and 40 feet high ; being constructed 
so as to serve occasionally for balls, or public meetings ; 



WORCESTER. WORCESTERSHIRE. 0<3 

on the left is the Crown, and on the right is the Nisi 
Prius court, each 50 feet by 37 ; besides rooms for wit- 
nesses in waiting, Jury, and Petty Sessions rooms, Offi- 
ces, &c. ; and over these the Grand Jury room, 30 
feet by 20 ; rooms for the Clerk of Indictments, and 
witnesses ; and the Record room, and Library, are 30 
feet by 20, both fire-proof; for the courts held here, see 
68. Behind the hall is a very spacious brick building, 
called the Judge's Lodgings, which present a fine front 
to Sansom-walk. 

111. Sir Thomas White's Gift. This gentleman 
was Mayor of Bristol in 1553, and left £104. per annum, 
to be distributed in rotation to each of 24 cities, and 
towns, of which cities Worcester is one ; £100 of it to 
be let out, without interest, to four young men, freemen 
of the city, for 10 years, upon sureties to be then re-paid, 
and so let out to others; which bounty, this city will re- 
ceive for the twelfth time in 1846. The £4. goes to the 
Surveyor of the city, or town. 

112. Social Institution established in 1837, and 
situated in Carden-street, Blockhouse, is occupied by 
the Worcester branch of the " Universal Community 
Society of rational religionists," enrolled under Act of 
Parliament ; and will seat about 250 persons. Lectures 
are delivered every Sunday evening at 6, and on Wed- 
nesday evening at 8 o'clock ; and there is a circulating 
library, and reading-room connected with the Institu- 
tion. 

113. Society for Apprenticing children of neces- 
sitous persons, natives of this county, and residing in 
or near London, and for lending them a sum of money to 
establish them in business, if they are meritorious ; was 
established in 1815, since which time premiums have 
been paid with 95 boys, and the Society annually distri- 
butes about £200. Mr. T. H. Wheeler, is agent at 
Worcester. 

114. Society of Arts, re-established in 1838, for 
the exhibition of paintings, promotion of the fine Arts, 
&c. ; it had a splendid exhibition in the Athenaeum 
Lecture room, in the summer of 1838, and it possesses 
a select Library ; Mr. H. Whiting is Secretary. 

115. Temperance Society, established on modera- 



54 bentley's history of 

tion principles, in March, 1832, and re-organized on 
those of Total Abstinence from all intoxicating drinks, 
in February, 1835. Its members meet once a month 
in the Friends' Meeting house, Sansom-walk ; the So- 
ciety holds public meetings twice a month, in the Prim- 
itive Methodists chapel, South-street, Blockhouse ; and 
about 600 persons have here signed the Total Abstinence 
Pledge. Mr. Samuel Darke, is Secretary. 

116. Theatre, situated on the N. side of Angel- 
street, about half-way down from the Cross, was erected 
in 1780, cost £1000., raised by 20 shares, at £50. each. 
Mr. Henry Bennett, is the present manager ; who opens 
the house for public entertainment occasionally. On 
the E. side of Tything-street, a little beyond the Shire- 
hall, a large Pavillion is about being completed ; to be 
opened by Mr. Ryan as a Circus at Christmas ; and is 
capable of containing 2,000 persons, to witness the 
equestrian performances. 

117. Tract Societies depot, is at Miss F. Osborn's, 
24, Cross, but there does not appear to be any well or- 
ganized district society here. 

118. Visiting Society, District, established in 
1832, annually expends above £100. in affording relief 
to the deserving poor, and encouraging provident habits 
among them by receiving small weekly sums from them 
in summer, and laving it out to good advantage in cloth- 
ing, &c, in winter. 

119. Walks in the vicinity of Worcester, are nume- 
rous, and very pleasant ; Sansom-walk is particularly so, 
being well sheltered from the sun, or from drizzling rain, 
by the overspreading foliage of lofty elms ; and in what- 
ever direction the citizen approaches the suburbs, he is 
met by the most pleasing rural scenery ; the country- 
houses of the more wealthy, being tastefully arranged 
in squares and terraces, decorated with beautiful flower- 
gardens, parterres shrubs, or lawns. The high grounds 
skirting the eastern boundary of the city, afford a fine 
view of its many towers, and turrets, and its bristling 
spire, and are rapidly becoming occupied with villas ; 
and some of the walks are very inviting from the vast 
track of fertile country they disclose to view, which 
forms a fine contrast to the crowded city. 



■WORCESTER. WORCESTERSHIRE. 55 

120. Walsgrave's charity, consists of eight houses, 
now forming 16 tenements, on the S. side of Powick- 
lane; founded in lo67, re-built in 1825 ; each house is 
endowed with 10s. per annum. 

121. Water Works. This city appears to have 
been originally supplied with water, by works constructed 
on a small island, then situated a little above the site of 
the present bridge; but soon after 1770, both the works 
and the island were removed, to improve the navigation 
of the river. The water-works were then re-built, above 
H miles above the bridge, at the junction of the Bar- 
bourne brook, with the Severn, at an expense of £ 1 1 ,000 ; 
the water was raised from the river to the top of a high 
tower (part of which still remains) by a water-wheel, 
and the city was supplied from this elevated fountain by 
pipes. In 1810, the present works were erected ; the 
steam engine, by which the water is forced from the bed 
of the Severn, to an elevation of 100 feet into the large 
iron tank, or reservoir, in the Trinity, is situated a little 
N. of Upper Quay ; and affords a constant supply of 
pure water for the city, the expenses being supplied by 
a rate, under an Act of Parliament. 

122. Wtatt's Hospital founded by Mr. E. Wyatt, 
who was Mayor of this city in 1696, for six poor men ; 
who receive 3s. per week, a pair of shoes, and half a ton 
of coals a year. They are situated near the S. end, 
and on the E. side of Friar-street ; and at the bottom of 
the same square, are two houses built for two women, and 
endowed by Mr. C. Geary, in 1784, who receive 3s. per 
week each ; and a pair of shoes, and half a ton of coals 
yearly. 

123. Thus have we graphically, and faithfully (as we 
hope) sketched Worcester, its noble public buildings, 
useful Institutions, and important Manufactures; and 
though the passing cloud of commercial depression at 
present damps the spirits of the Manufacturers, and 
causes a short supply of labour to the industrious poor, 
it is to be hoped this will be only temporary ; and that 
the experience of the past, will be used both by the 
governors and the governed, to prevent this periodical 
suspension of our manufacturing operations, and place 
our monetary, fiscal, and commercial affairs on such a 



56 bentley's history of 

basis, as to impart healthy vigour to the body politic, 
both Agricultural, Manufacturing and Commercial. 

124. Few places suffer less from these ebbings and 
flowings of trade than Worcester ; being considerably 
engaged in producing articles of general use for the 
home market, having on every side vast tracts of fine land 
not surpassed for fertility in the kingdom ; but more than 
all its capitalists being discreet and very wealthy, its 
merchants, manufacturers, and traders combining spirited 
enterprise, with sterling integrity, and the great bulk of 
the working classes being very industrious, it may be said 
to possess within itself to a considerable extent, the 
elements necessary to give constant prosperity. 

125. To the devout Christian and the philanthrophist, 
Worcester must, from its numerous sacred edifices and 
religious institutions be peculiarly pleasing ; each reli- 
gious denomination supports its Sunday schools, foreign 
and home missionaries, and other means for spreading 
divine truth with laudable liberality, and ministers are 
as remarkable for their eloquence in the pulpit and on 
the platform, as for their christian deportment. 

126. To the lovers of art and science, its numerous 
Institutions afford a constant and a rich treat ; few places 
are honoured by so many talented lectures, concerts are 
very frequent, especially at the Athenaeum ; and the 
city is remarkable for both vocal and instrumental talent. 
Balls, assemblies, and exhibitions of works of art, often 
take place ; social parties are common occurrences, public 
meetings frequent ; and complaints of Worcester on these 
heads must arise either from deficiency in taste, or from 
expectations and desires truly exuberant. 

127. The population of Worcester in 1563, consisted 
of 1,025 families ; according to Mr. Young in 1779, of 
11,001 souls. By the government returns, the popula- 
tion of the city, was 11,191, in 1801 ; 13,611, in 1811 ; 
17,023, in 1821; and 18,610, in 1831; and by the 
same rate of increase, it would be 21,351, in 1840; and 
the borough contains about 30,000 inhabitants.

THE FOLLOWING ARE AMONG THE PECULIAR AND IMPORTANT 
ADVANTAGES OFFERED BY THIS OLD-ESTABLISHED OFFICE: 

1.— perfect security— The ample Capital of £300,000, of which 
£100,000 is paid up, under the immediate management of the Board of 
Direction, is guaranteed by an opulent Proprietary for the security of the 
Assured. 

II.— HONOUR AND LIBERALITY IN THE SETTLEMENT OF LOSSES — 

The well-known character of the Members of the Direction, and the 
Worcester Committee of Superintendence, affords on this head every 
possible security ; and the Managers confidently appeal to the experience 
of the last thirty-five years, as the best evidence of the promptitude with 
which all claims have'been settled. 

III.— moderate rates of premium.— The Rates are fully as low 
as those adopted by other Offices of character and experience. 

IV. — returns of premium. — The Insured are not liable to be called 
upon to make good the Losses of others, as in the cases of Offices that profess 
to divide their profits among Insurers ; and who to effect this object, are 
obliged to charge high Premiums, a fact that can be directly ascertained by 
comparing the Proposals of such Offices, with those of this' Establishment. 

V.— all LOSSES are paid IN cash, without deduction or discount. 

VI.— LOSSES BY LIGHTNING ARE MADE GOOD. 

No charge is made for Policies when removed from other Offices. 



BELONGING TO THIS ESTABLISHMENT. IS KEPT READY FOR ACTION

ENGINE HOUSE, POWICK LANE.

DIATE AID TO THE PUBLIC IN ALL CASES OF FIRE.

Returns his .sincere thanks to the Ladies and Gentlemen of 
Worcester, and its Vicinity, for the liberal encouragement he 
has received at their hands, for many years, and hopes by strict 
attention to all orders, to merit their future favours. 

S. C. also respectfully informs them, that the Useful and 
Ornamental branch, the Oval Turning, having been declined 
since he left his Establishment in Lowesmoor, he is induced, 
by the desire of some friends, to revive it, and having made 
considerable improvements therein, he will engage to match any 
piece of Oval Turning as near as it can be done by men's hands.

TO THE PUBLIC GENERALLY. 

I will try to please you all, 

If you will please to try me: 
In hard or soft wood, large or small, 

Iron, lead, brass, bone, or ivory ; 
In pursuing all these arts, 

I fear I am too bold, 
I fain would offer you some parts 

In exchange for your gold. 

In aspiring thus, my view 

Is not for to offend: 
I old chairs make to look like new, 

I sometimes new ones mend. 
If I can your favours gain, 

I will to them steady look; 
I will do my best them to retain, 

I am, your obedient, SAMUEL COOKE.

PROSPECTUS. 

The Nobility, Gentry, Clergy, Professional Gentlemen, 
Bankers, Merchants, Manufacturers, Traders, and Inhabi- 
tants generally are most respectfully informed, that Joseph 
Bentley, and his Agents, are engaged in collecting and 
arranging the immense mass of facts required for the above 
work. Every facility afforded and suggestion made to 
them will be gratefully received, and so employed as to 
render this publication the most authentic, interesting, and 
valuable of its kind. All documents entrusted to them 
will be used with the greatest care, and returned with the 
strictest punctuality. 

The following is respectfully submitted as the plan of 
arrangement : — 

The name, local and ecclesiastical division, distance, 
and bearing of each Town, Village, Parish, and Hamlet, 
will be given, with its history, from the earliest period to 
the present time, including its antiquities, the rise, pro- 
gress, and present state of all the religious, scholastic, 
scientific, and recreative institutions, public buildings, and 
charities, local government, privileges, markets, fairs, popu- 
lation, and every object of local interest. The trade, manu- 
factures, mineral and agricultural produce, and the Seats 
of the Nobility and Gentry, will be particularlynoticed, and 
information on all these subjects is earnestly solicited. 

The Directory of each place will include an alphabetical 
list of the Inhabitants, with their profession or business, 
and address, distinguishing county and borough electors ; 
and where such list exceeds 100 names, they will again be 
given under the head of each trade or profession ; and all 
parties are requested to be very particular in giving their 
names correctly when called upon,forit will be almost impos- 
sible to print the information accurately, if it be given wrong 
to the Agent of the proprietor on his personal application. 

In connection with each place of worship will be shown 
the time when built, the expense, patron's and incumbent's 
name, number of seats, time when each service com- 
mences, and if marriages take place there. 

The despatch and arrival of all Mails, Coaches, Car- 
riers, and every conveyance for Passengers and Goods, 
will be given with the most scrupulous care ; showing the 
Time, Fare, and Distance, and will form a most valuable 
Commercial Guide. 

An alphabetical list of all the Streets, Squares, Places, 
Courts, Alleys, and Lanes, in each town will be given, 
with their length in feet. 

The seventh volume will contain a general description 
of the County, Historical, Agricultural, Commercial, and

"From Mr. Bentley's long experience in compiling works 
of this useful class, we have every reason to believe him 
equal to the onerous task he has undertaken with so much 
public spirit, and have no doubt the volumes he is now en- 
gaged in writing will be among the most useful and inter- 
esting of their kind, and will form a valuable appendage to 
every library in the county. One very distinguishing fea- 
ture of this work is, that while the variety of its commercial 
information and its excellent arrangement make it (we had 
almost said) a necessary article to every tradesman, the 
small price of each volume will place it within the reach 
of the humblest artizan, so that no inhabitant of the county 
need be without an history. &c, of his own town, parish, 
or village." — Worcester Herald. 

"By an announcement in another part of our Journal, it 
will be seen that Mr. Bentley is collecting and arranging facts 
for a History, Directory, &c, of Worcestershire, which we 
are confident will be superior to any similar work that has 
yet been published." — Bekrow's Worcester Journal. 

" In our advertising columns will be found an announce- 
ment of the projected publication of a History, Directory, 
and Statistics of Worcestershire, by Mr. Joseph Bentley, for 
many years an active and able agent for Messrs. Pigot and 
Co., in compiling their London and National Directories. 
Mr. Bentley is now engaged in collecting materials for the 
useful and valuable work of which he has so spiritedly en- 
tered on the compilation, and he brings with him to the task, 
if we may judge from another of his works now lying before 
us a spirit of diligent research and indefatigable enquiry, 
combined with a sound discrimination, which eminently 
qualify him for the laborious task. '—Worcestershire 
Chronicle.

REVIEWS OF THE ABOVE WORK. 

41 I cannot, for a moment, hesitate to express my opinion 
that Mr. Bentley's Piano Globe is a most ingenious and 
useful invention, and that, with the aid of the excellent 
Treatise which it illustrates, it is calculated to promote 
the spread of a valuable branch of education." — Mr. John 
Smith, (Lecturer on Education, the beauties of Geography, 
&c.) Liverpool. 

" The Plane Globe is an ingenious contrivance, consist- 
ing of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres printed 
on circular pieces of card-board, each Hemisphere moving 
under the Brass Meridian that confines it in its place, so 
that Problems can be worked on them as with the rotund 
sphere. The Treatise on Modern Geography is clear and 
comprehensive, containing an immense amount of statis- 
tical and other useful information, packed into a close 
compass, and so well arranged, that individual facts apper- 
taining to any country are easily ascertained : for instance, 
the latitude, longitude, population, products, and manu- 
factures of every chief town in the world ; and the To- 
pography of the British Isles is still more fully and 
minutely described. The general account of the different 
States and Kingdoms, though concise, is lively and preg- 
nant with matter. In a word, the publication is a com- 
plete multum in parvo of Geography and the use of the 
Globe. Joseph Bentley, the inventor of the Plane 
Globe, is the compiler of the Geography also, and his 
labour and ingenuity are admirable." — Spectator. 

''This is one of the most ingenious and useful works 
ever submitted to us, and is accompanied by a Treatise, 
replete with the most interesting Geographical information, 
so arranged as to make it equally useful as a class book in 
Schools, (where it will save much time in teaching prac- 
tical Geography,) or as a work for general reference and 
self-instruction. We hail, with great pleasure, this suc- 
cessful effort to save time and expense in the study of such 
a pleasing science, and believe it only requires to be seen 
to insure its general adoption," — Liverpool Mercury. 

" The work under consideration is on a new plan, and 
embodies many exceedingly usful aids to the acquisition 
of Geographical and Astronomical information. This 
Globe is the invention of Mr. Joseph Bentley, of Man- 
chester.'* — Liverpool Albion. 

' ' Whilt t he importance of a knowledge of Geography 
as a branch of Education, more particularly in our own 
commercial country, is universally admitted, all persons 
who have devoted attention to the instruction of vouth, 



236 ADVERTISEMENTS. 



REVIEWS OF THE ABOVE WORK. 

must be aware of the difficulty of communicating a clear 
and practical knowledge of this useful and interesting 
science without the aid of the Terrestrial Globe, an apparatus 
which can only be obtained at an expense which places it 
beyond the reach of the great mass of the community. 
To remedy this difficulty, Mr. Bentley's Modern Geography 
and Treatise on the Globes is accompanied by two Plane 
Moveable Maps, printed on circular pieces of card-board, 
representing the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, 
each revolving under a Brass Meridian, by which the geo- 
graphical position, relative distance, ,&c. of each country 
and place on the Globe, can be as readily ascertained as 
by the mechanical aid of the round sphere. There are 
Fifty-three Problems in the Treatise, with rules for per- 
forming them on the Plane Globe, so that any person who 
devotes a little time and attention to the study, may 
become thoroughly versed in the principles of Geography. 
The work is equally adapted for the use of Schools as 
for self- instruction, and requires, we believe, only to be 
known to ensure its general adoption." — Midland Coun- 
ties Herald. 

" The Geography is a complete mine of facts, lucidly 
arranged, and of great facility in reference ; the Globe 
seems to us to answer all the purposes of the one con- 
structed on the usual principle, besides having the great 
recommendation of its exceedingly portable shape, to say 
nothing of the price of the Book and Globe being only one 
quarter of the ordinary price of the latter alone." — Wor- 
cester Herald. 

" Much time and labour are saved by this method, and the 
knowledge thus acquired is likely to be lasting." — Berrow's 
Worcester Journal. 

" But the distinguishing feature of this work is the Plane 
Globe which has been invented by Mr. Bentley, in order to 
afford an opportunity to every student of working the vari- 
ous Problems usually jnven as exercises on the use of the 
globe, and which are too often slurred over, or very imper- 
fectly understood at school ; because the expense precluding 
the possibility of supplying each pupil with a terrestrial 
globe, the greater part of the pupils only see the problems 
worked by another, and have the result communicated to 
them, instead of verifying that result by actual experience. 
When it is considered that the price of the Treatise and 
Globe together is only about one-fourth of that usually 
charged lor the latter alone, our readers will be enabled to 
estimate the amount of obligation due from parents and 
teachers to the inventor of this very clever succedaneum."

Perhaps at no former period did the human eye wander 
over a Map of the World with such curious solicitude. 
Both Hemispheres are now so prolific in incidents, and 
the European nations under the influence of a resistless 
impulse, are pouring their redundant population into 
regions so remote and unexplored, that every section 
of the Globe is regarded with an interest that is not 
satisfied with the scanty knowledge conveyed by the 
pictorial surface of a mere Map. 

To minister to this laudable inquisitiveness, the Com- 
piler of these tables, by laborious research has collected 
from the most recent and unquestionable sources, a 
mass of statistical and geographical information that, 
while it gratifies the inquirer, will be instructive to the 
pupil, the man of business, the political economist, the 
traveller, and the emigrant.

WHOLESALE AND FOR EXPORTATION, 




JOSEPH GILLOTT, 

PATENT 

STEEL PEN MANUFACTURER, 

GRAHAM STREET, & 59, NEWHALL STREET, 
BIRMINGHAM. 

Joseph Gillott, has been for nearly twenty years engaged in the 
manufacture of Steel Pens, and during that time has devoted his 
unceasing attention to the improving and perfecting this useful 
and necessary article ; the result of his persevering efforts, and 
numerous experiments upon the properties of the metal used, has 
been the construction of a Pen upon a principle entirely new, 
combining all the advantages of the elasticity and fineness of the 
quill, with the durability of the metallic pen, and thus obviating 
the objections which have existed against the use of Steel Pens. 

The Patentee is proud to acknowledge that a discerning public 
has paid the most gratifying tribute to his humble, though useful 
labours, by a demand for his Pens far exceeding his highest 
expectations. 

The number of Steel Pens manufactured at Joseph Gillott's 
Works, 

From October, 1838, to October, 1839. 

was 44 654,702 

or 3 72 1,225 doz. 2-12ths. 

or 310,102 gross, 1 doz. 

2-12ths. 



From October, 1837, to October, 1838, 
was35, 808,452 
or 2 9 84 03 7 2-3rds dozens 
or 248' 669 gross, 9 doz 

and 8 Pens. 

This statement will shew the estimation in which these Pens 
are held, and it is presumed will be an inducement to those who 
desire to have a really good article, at least to make a trial of 
Joseph Gillott's Steel Pens. 

The universal celebrity of these Pens has induced certain 
disreputable Makers to foist upon the Public a spurious article, 
bearing the mis-spelled name of the Patentee and Sole Manufac- 
turer, thus, " GILOTT," by omitting the L ; and in some 
instances the omission of the final T is fraudulently resorted to, 
in order to retain the same sound as GILLOTT ; but observe, 

^- NONE ARE GENUINE BUT THOSE MARKED IN FULL

PATENT 

INDIA RUBBER GALOCHES, 

SUPERIOR TO EVERY OTHER DESCRIPTION OF OVER-ALL SHOES, BEING VERY LIGHT, 
DURABLE, ELASTIC, AND WATERPROOF. 

They resemble the finest morocco leather, are lined with velvet, kerseymere, or Macintosh 

cloth, and, while thoroughly waterproof, are so light, that, when worn over an 

ordinary shoe, or slipper, no sensible addition is felt to the weight. 

India Rubber being the slowest known conductor of heat, tliese Galoches recommend 
themselves to invalids by their property of keeping the feet perfectly warm, thus removing that 
frequent forerunner of disease — cold feet; they are preservatives against chilblains; may be 
worn with great advantage incases of gout; and will render the most delicate constitution 
independent of weather. They are made of the best possible form and manufacture for ladies, 
gentlemen and children — are more durable than any leather Galoche or Clog — and cheaper than 
the most inferior article of the kind that has hitherto been offered; when needful, they may be 
repaired or re-soled. 

N.B. Ladies and Gentlemen at a distance may be fitted by sending a boot or shoe.

OR

Manufactured expressly for persons who are afflicted with Tender Feet, arising from

In appearance they resemble the finest leather, and receive a most brilliant polish from 
ordinary blacking; they never draw the feet, even in the warmest weather, and are not liable to 
get hard and cracked by exposure to wet ; they are softer, easier, and lighter, and more elastic 
than any shoes ever offered for sale, they retain these qualities to the last, and are as durable and 
cheap as those made of ordinary leather.
